FairHome.co.uk had this GREAT read posted up on their website Sunday that I had to share with you. It starts off like this... The National Grid is piloting a new energy creation technology that harnesses the energy stored in high pressure gas pipes... Natural gas has extremely high pressure when it is sourced from underground... This pressure has to be reduced eight times before the gas is suitable for use in homes - a process that wastes huge amounts of latent energy... The new technology uses a turbine to harness the energy created when the gas pressure is reduced, and this energy is used to generate electricity...
