I've read one of Andy's posts on this subthread.

How conscientious of you !

But why?




An excuse to have a pop at environmentalists in general and me in
particular maybe ?


Everyone needs a hobby ...


Just so !


Almost none of the individual decisions we make reduce the ecological
footprint of this civilization by a measurable percentage. None the
less,
we are better off fighting to make things a little better rather than
letting them get a little worse just to gratify somebodys zeal for the
market.

Hurrah!


Incrementalism lives...


Yes.

I've just thought of a consideration when siting panels on the roof.

Don't let it be anywhere near the chimney, there might be an accident which
could devastate many people.


Why ? We try not to put them near chimneys, but it generally has more
to do with avoiding shadows, and it's not as if most panels burn.


Happy Christmas to everyone and don't forget to recycle cards, wrapping
paper, and sprout leaves.


Indeed !


Cheers, J/.
