Roasting

Here in the UK we're in the middle of our first industrial farm based outbreak of bird flu. This morning I was amazed to learn that local power stations near this farm normally burn the turkey waste from several of these farms to generate electricity, and they are therefore missing the output from this particular plant, as it's being taken elsewhere to be specially incinerated.

It got me thinking about where such a means of generating electricity leaves vegetarians and Buddhists? To me it seems like they are in a similar position to pacifists who object to seeing their share of general taxation going towards the purchase of arms and weapons.

And it also seems more than a little sick that one turkey is helping to roast another.

This world never fails to surprise me. When does I suppose it will be time for me to checkout. And then I'll maybe volunteer myself so that I too can add a few more Watts to the National Grid - better than than just going up in smoke at the crem!
