Somebody needs to sort out the Chinese?

We Answered:

In China alone, up to 200+ million tons of coal goes up in flames each year-which may be equivalent to America’s total carbon-dioxide emissions from gasoline. India’s mine fires waste up to 10 million tons of coal annually. The pollution has left much of the land in both countries uninhabitable. The high level of toxins in the air, also metallic & untreated chemical wastes dumped directly into the oceans is expected to only increase as there are no deterrents for these ‘developing’ nations all of which is compounding the ‘Global Warming’ problem.. The World need to include so-called Undeveloped Countries especially China & India to impact the global crisis. Clean burning coal & dousing these coal fires! No exceptions, pay reparations for irresponsible rampant pollution! Also, American and other developed countries need to become more isolationist & drastically reduce outsourcing & importing from China!

Hi, Does anyone no whats the most economical way to heat a house in ireland nowadays? any ideas??

We Answered:

dress warmly is the most economical way these days. All energy comes at a (HIGH!) price all over the world.

As for actual heating, how about a combination of the geothermal/solar panels and electricity or oil? That way you can use up the natural, cheap energy and still have backup if during a cold and/or cloudy period you find that it isn't enough.

Good luck in the new house!

better to buy or build?

We Answered:

Experience tells me buying and renovating is alot easier than building and waiting for the contractor to get up to the speed you need to move in etc. building is alot more complicated as you need permits and land inspections etc.
