Peat - The New Wonder Fuel


Somewhere in the West of Ireland.

Warm glow of Irish peat takes edge off oil woes.

When I lived in Ireland a while back (a real while), there was a joke going around that the Irish were going to have have an SST (the Concorde had just come into service) that was fueled by peat. All those Brits out there smirked. Now that there is an oil crisis, many an Irish family will be warm and toasty (at least on their front side) this Winter when the temp drops while all us oil dependent Yanks are going to freeze our buns off.
