...hype around the hydrogen economy, there appeared to be very little to show for it in practice," says Sandy Macaulay, project manager for PURE (Promoting Unst Renewable Energy) and Bonxies lead guitarist. Two 15-kW wind turbines provide cheap and clean electricity to the island's industrial estate. Surplus power goes through hydrogen production and storage equipment, and the zero-carbon gas is bottled for future use. PURE hopes to expand hydrogen's applications beyond powering and heating the small industrial estate and running Scotland's only road-licensed hydrogen car. Up to five days' worth of power...

Naturally, the logistics involved in setting up this kind of process makes its implementation by the end of this year highly improbable. For that reason, the College should today grant the Darfur Action Group its request to let students donate their surplus Crimson Cash to GIF, with the understanding that a more permanent, more inclusive system of humanitarian swiping will be developed for the 2005-2006 school year...
