We have just started a Forum for those of us who want to look at alternative
home energy systems, including wind power, solar power, water power and
bio-fuel (including slow revving engines like the old Lister Diesels). We
are looking for people with ideas and/or experience of these renewable
fuels, and how they can be harnessed for our future. We welcome all comers,
those with lots of experience and those of us who just want to learn...
Please drop in, register and post your thoughts, you will be some of the
first contributors....

Thank you for your time

Is there something wrong with THIS forum? I thought that was its purpose in
life.

Sorry Mike, I didn't realise there was only ONE true forum, this was just a
polite invitation to those of you who have some practical experience of
renewables to share it with others, and to upload photos and details of
their projects so we can learn from each other.

Sorry, Malcolm, but I have to respectfully side with Mike on this one.
When we fragment into too many obscure forums, we lose a certain "critical
mass". When that happens you are left with the same few "experts" in each forum
and insufficient infusion of new ideas. In general, the bigger the forum, the
better.
In short, the world has little need for more forums.

Also, of course, you can always post links to your images, diagrams
etc here.
