So, you've decided to chose a fuel that has tended to be polluting in the past? Don't worry. Much has changed and todays choices are usually environmentally safe and energy efficient. Coal, wood, oil, gas etc. There are multiple choices and this page will help you make a sensible decision for your earth home.
Agripower Unit- Uses 'free' biomass to produce electricity. California
Alt-Energy-Some interesting articles on actual 'far out' research.
