Heat sources in Wales - OK, why not cut the bracken down (when it's dry,
natch), and BURN it?? Or could you get all the cows to FART into a big gas
bag?



The thing about any "alternative" energy is that it's generally precious
(free to make, but capitally intensive), so I guess a major driver has to be
the highest efficiency of whatever machine you come up with.

Perhaps you missed the bit about "Wales" >;>

Perhaps an alternative or additional method to wind might be to capture
the kinetic energy of raindrops hitting the surface of a collector and
turning that into useable energy - piezoelectric crystals or something!

Genetically engineer bracken to produce electric current from movement
and grow nanofibre connections through the roots and rhizomes to central
connecting grid nodes... hmmm
