One For Ed

Recent development in Net Zero technology include a remarkable new scheme to recycle used domestic electricity. As we know when we switch on the TV, microwave or any other electrical appliance, used electricity trickles away down the wires once it has done the job of powering the appliance.

Or rather this was the case until recently. In a new hyper-green recycling scheme, this used electricity will be recovered by passing it into special household power recycling bins which experts describe as large eco-capacitors inside a normal colour-coded wheelie bin.

Every week the waste electricity bins will be emptied via eco-tech waste trucks which suck out the waste electricity into much bigger capacitors before transporting it to an electrical waste substation to be piped back into the national grid.

Experts estimate that allowing for some inevitable losses, this new scheme could turbocharge the reuse of about 80% of domestic electricity.

Come on Ed – it’s not April 1st - give it a whirl.
