		<description><![CDATA[Qu: Would it be possible to put waste, i.e. bio-degradable rubbish and sewage into an air-tight container, let it produce methane gas, siphon it off to cook with and power gas-fired central heating, filter off the water, and be left with compost to put on gardens?

Qu: What&#8217;s your stance on energy saving light bulbs? I&#8217;ve heard several reports that they contain mercury and can be dangerous.
The media had a field day at the end of last year with some serious scaremongering regarding the dangers of energy-saving bulbs (CFL&#8217;s). 
It all began when The Daily Mail picked up on a report [...]]]></description>

Another question about energy use in the home&#8230; The short answer is no; no electricity is being used because there is nothing completing the circuit in an empty socket &#8211; just as a lamp plugged in and switched off uses no energy.
