Back in September last year I talked about the potential for Peer to peer power and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) boilers, which would enable streets and blocks to generate their own power and share the generated power among all the local properties through a grid like exchange system.
I still think there is a huge potential here for many companies and individuals to generate their own power and therefore help reduce the reliance both on the large power stations and the burning of fossil fuels.
The reasoning is quite simple, both CHP boilers and personal turbines are 'green' producers of electricity, and for many they provide a level of input and control over their power requirements that is hard to beat.
