There's some stunning photography in this final video from the Arctic Sunrise's arctic expedition. Ice sheets, icebergs, glaciers and (yes) polar bears all feature in a kind of greatest hits package from Greenland and beyond. View it on Youtube for a larger, more panoramic version.
But the tone is sombre. As campaigner Frida Bengtsson explains in her narration, the arctic could be free of summer sea ice by 2030. It's not quite a last chance to see, but we may not be far off.
We run a 17500 square foot factory offgrid by utilising waste shavings for heat and locally sourced waste vegetable oil to run a 275kva bio-diesel generator. Excess shavings and glycerol from bio-diesel manufacture are then used for wood pellets for home heating. We also ferment waste food to make ethanol and are planning a Hydroponics garden to use the excess co2 of fermentation and heat from shavings to grow year round fruit and veg. We get zero government help just time consuming legislation!
Sounds like you've invested quite a substantial amount of time and money into that set-up. I know government support is virtually non-existent for micro-generation - what kind of problems have you come across?
