What's in a boiler label?
boiler There's some arguing going on in the European Union about what makes for a good boiler and a not-as-good boiler. As subscriber, Robert O'Brien, notes, "It sounds like our never-ending discussion of AFUE." And in the end, isn't it really about the building envelope, the system design, and the installer? Hmm.

Got garbage?
garbage pile Send it to Sweden! They can use all they can get. Thanks to subscriber, Maurya McCall, for sharing this quick story about how district heating helps solve a common problem - what to do with all that trash. Remember the homeless garbage barge of 1987? How times have changed. 
Rising tides
underwater turbine And falling tides. They're now both supplying some power to the folks in Maine, and we'll probably be seeing more of this. Here's the story, with a big thanks to subscriber, Robert O'Brien.
