Corpses Provide Environmentally-Friendly Heat

(Manchester, England) Based upon this report, one must wonder if there are any limits to the ubiquitous environmental nuttiness.

Heat created by burning the dead at crematoria could be used to keep mourners warm under plans to make funerals more environmentally-friendly.

Instead of letting the gases emitted by cremation escape into the atmosphere, councils want to use them to heat radiators or even generate electricity.

They admit some might find the idea of being kept warm by the remains of their loved-ones macabre.

Ya' think!

Tameside Council Environment Officer Robin Monk sees the preservation of heat as necessary to reduce the crematorium's carbon footprint.
