    ^ electricity from agri waste is indeed technologically and financially feasible, to a certain size

    for large scale grid-connected power, all around the world majority still use coal/natgas/nuclear

    China has Three Gorges dam though

    That's what they use. I think it's the same as CNG gensets.

    Re: subsidy. Easy to do if your government is filthy stinking rich and you have fossil fuels coming out of the ground. If your economy has a poor manufacturing base and tax revenues from both industrial and private taxpayers, no.

    Like the OPSF. a lot of people are clamoring for ita return, but the OPSF still comes out of taxpayer's pockets, and to add insult to injury, when oil prices go down, the OPSF keeps fuel prices up, as you need to regenerate it. All the OPSF did before was delay price fluctuations, but they happened just the same.

    When we still had it, the militants were still picketing in the street every time fuel prices rose.

    In both cases, the only business case for subsidy is if the Philippines produced enough fossil fuels to create government income to spend on subsidies. Or if the government could demand a percentage of production from the companies extracting it in lieu of tax payments.

    there are 280 pigs in batasan! and those pigs make a lot of sh!t.

    or how about quezon city hall? just the amount of BS the councilors produce will be enough to power city hall and half the street lights of QC.

    it's probably just a tesla coil. an exotic air-core transformer. the primary winding is probably just a few feet away, out of video sight. the multimeter is probably set on millivolts or volts.. the ohms setting is on the upper left.
    it's old hat.
    and it's certainly not free. someone has to put some juice thru the primary winding to make it work..

    AFAIK magkaiba po ata yun... pero baka ang gamit nila yung genset na flexfuel... pwedeng BIOGAS pwede din CNG and or CNG And natural gas... not sure nga lang....

    kaso nga lang sir wala pang nag dadala dito nun... sa CNG nga sir wala pa ako alam na nag papasok dito at wala pa kasing demand sa market... puro diesel at iilan biogas ang demand...
