| Swedish Town Using Cremation Heat to Warm Houses Adam Frucci, Gizmodo The town of Halmstad came up with the idea when trying to curb the amount of smoke emitted from the crematorium. It was when we were discussing all these environmental issues that we started thinking about the energy that is used in the cremations and realised that instead of all that heat just going up into the air, we could make use of it somehow. It was just rising into the skies for nothing," said Lennart Andersson, the director of the cemetery in the town of Halmstad. It might sound kind of gross, but if you were suddenly having your house heated for free this winter I don't think you'd complain that much. |

| #1 Carried one step further, I have always felt it is entirely possible to cut noxious gas emmissions from the Gas Chamber in half simply by putting in a 2nd seat... and may I suggest putting Charles Manson in it. Win Win Win |
