Would this be cost effective in any sense? Cheers Winton Peter, is it possible to use this binary plant technology to generate electricty from the waste heat produced by the likes of grid-based CCGT and coal fired power stations?

I imagine there isn't enough energy present in hot water from solar heaters to make developing such technology worthwhile. There already exists Solar Photo Voltaic panels which convert light directly to electricity and while they are expensive I would think they would be more cost effective that the approach you queried.

wt will be the pricing for that?

Its time thats the limiting factor, rather than ideas ... I've got a whole slew of things backed up to write about. I'm planning and article on switching to ethical and sustainable investments, something I'm guessing is fairly close to your heart, from reading beteen the lines of your blog ;-) Not quite as easy as changing a lightbulb though! I'm very well here thanks. It sounds like the post-Sun world is treating you well also. Pete. Mike,

Looking for Good Thing #2 post. BTW, I've adopted a personal mission of "be a good ancestor." Trying to align my work and home lives to achieve that goal. Hope all is well with you.
