Paul-

I have numerous questions for you.

Is England connected to continental Europe by a cable through the chunnel, or otherwise? Also, is England connected to Scotland, and Ireland as well?


A little story: When my family travelled to England back in '96, we took the train from London to York to visit the viking museum and see the town. I remember seeing what seemed like dozens of power stations on the way up, with their distinctive cooling towers, and most of them appeared to be in the middle of farmland. Do you have any idea what fuel these burn? (what is the primary fuel for generating electricity in Enlgand?) And where do they get their cooling water?

Finally, if memory serves me correctly, England seems to be into trash to energy plants, since I imagine landfill space is hard to come by. Any idea what percentage of trash is turned into power?
FYI: Here in Connecticut, we incinerate 65% of our trash, the highest percentage of any state in the U.S. And a lot of our facilites are waste-to-energy.

Thanks in advance for your answers! [Linked Image]
