Survivors

[CharlesHarris]

I finally received the 1975-76 BBC "Survivors" series on DVD from across the pond, and have been watching it.

Considering its age, while not perfect, it is good entertainment and brings up many useful points. I won't comment further until I have viewed the entire series, but suffice to say it is much better than most of what passes for television drama on the US networks these days.

I like their manure digestor to produce methane to run the farm tractor. When I worked at our County landfill be had over 100 miles of collection tube and a plant designed to capture and liquify the landfill gas so that we could use it to power our trash trucks, dozers, loaders, etc. While some modifications need to be made to the diesel engines we did so with both Cummins and Volvo engines and ran a variety of equipment with it including over-the-road tractor-trailers!
