I think there's more to their carbon footprint than the kettle, but seeing that it is now off line until next year, they'll probably be getting through a fair few cups of coffee.
And it's good to be aware that you drop by from time to time.
I was taken aback to learn the Cerne cooling system alone uses the same energy as a small city.
They have several refrigeration units, eight I think, at intervals round the loop. I didn't catch this properly (on the radio!) but it may be that each one uses this amount of power . . . either way!
And then there's the rest of it . . .
I'm torn as always between approving of research and being excited by it - and being frustrated that energy use like this happens without anyone blinking.
I also have ignoble and selfish feelings that I am belittled by it; that my efforts to be energy efficient pale into pathetic-ness when compared with Cerne scale consumption.
It's one of those odd things . . . I live in my little house by the sea and listen to the radio and reckon I know best about more-or-less everything . . . as I keep telling the news-casters, the policiticians and all the experts interviewed there. I shout quite loud - but I'm beginning to suspect they can't hear! Sometimes, I write to my MP . . . but there's always more to say. So, here it is!
