RE: Reinventing the clay building brick
Excellent use of recyclable waste resources which solves two problems in one swoop. The use of fly ash removes a vast amount of stored residue from the environment, which eradicates potentially contaminating materials and it provides a cost-effective alternative to high energy consumption clay brick manufacturing. We desperately need to find similar creative solutions to other materials storage problems like nuclear waste, biomass, tires, paper, plastics,etc. Current approaches are too piecemeal and not cost effective.
It would also be a fantastic discovery to create a way of using/storing the carbon output from coal burning plants' chimneys. If this could be done then coal electrical generation would be absolutely perfect for energy needs in the 21st century. We have 50% of the problem solved but need to focus on truly "clean" coal solutions for the other 50%. Well done Mr.Pounds.
