A sick idea?? or not??

Jan 25, '11 8:33 PM for everyone

Is this sick??, or maybe I'm sick for thinking its quite a good idea. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20110125/tuk-row-over-crematorium-heating-for-swi-45dbed5.html ''Moves to warm a swimming pool with heat generated by an adjacent crematorium have sparked outrage.
Conservative-run Redditch Borough Council believes it would be an environmentally good use of energy and could save £14,000 a year at the Abbey Stadium pool''

It's... umm.... an 'unusual' idea, a very novel idea...........but in a weird sort of way I think its quite a good idea.
I like swimming, I think I would be quite happy for the very last of my energy to be used helping other swimmers.

It just reeks of that, doesn't it? Since the Conservative-led co-alition, it seems the Labour party have rolled out the Socialist Worker activists ant reverted to "Tories Out!" mentality of the 80s again, regardless of wether a proposal is a sensible one or not.

They object to everything, however sensible or ridiculous it may be. thats weird...............I'm in Unison and ..what can I say... thats not my experience, but we do live at oposite ends of the country maybe that makes a difference. Of course if I were to be a suspicious sceptic, I would say the Union objected because it's a conservative council not because of the idea itself.

It does seem that there would be a less objectionable way to use that energy, not so much obvious to the 'recreating' public. I think they chose the swimming pool because of its location and need for energy not specifically because it seemed like the best use of the energy, the swimming pool just happens to be opposite, like you said its....an 'unusual' choice
