ash

i've been away from (my sharehouse) home for over a week, so when i return, a fine dust of ash from the bushfires covers the bed. Ash is also in the tap water. Last night, the sliver of moon was red. it was beautiful.

Tonight i went to a local community group meeting on global warming. Mark Diesendorf was there, answering questions about the best forms of sustainable energy for NSW, which include biomass (from sugar and wheat crops), wind, hot dry rock geothermal, solar hot water systems. In the next few years, solar PhotoVoltaic panels will become more cost effective.
