Banjax, believer in alternative green fairies at the bottom of the garden. 

you see them too m8 don't pretend otherwise

Two days into a five day course - combustion in boilers.

The majority of the other attendees are from industries using small gas fired package boilers, small gas turbines etc.  Our lecturer is clearly heavily involved in gas turbine burner design, looking at NOx reductions (oxides of nitrogen which is apparently a bigger cause of global warming than CO2).  None of them have the first clew about the issues facing the electricity industry (which is what we were conned into believing this course would focus on !).

What has been rather refreshing is an inspector from the environment agency, attending with the view to understanding available emission reduction technologies.  I was able to give him some very enlightening facts about the UK power industry looking forwards for the next 5 to 10 years.  I was rather encouraged to find he had a very open mind and rapidly understood the realities...
