I guarantee you that static electricity _does_ have enough energy. Under
the _right_ circumstances.


I should have been more specific. My sentence above should have read, "I
seriously doubt that static electricity has enough energy to ignite a wood
dust explosion from the dust that would be generated in a typical home
woodshop."

Now, as for sawdust, in a home/hobby shop setting, it is *EXTREMELY*UNLIKELY*
that the 'right circumstances' will occur.
