Solar Energy Forum I have no doubt that we will be successful in harnessing the sun's energy.... If sunbeams were weapons of war, we would have had solar energy centuries ago. ~Sir George Porter

Very cool, or should I say hot. I had thought of an idea using joined 1 litre plastic water bottles, to vent heat away from the fridge and pipe it outside. It's amazing what can be achieved with what is typically considered household rubbish. It would be interesting to see what impact these sorts of ideas might have on heating / cooling bills. A few percentages here and there can add up and make a difference.
