Electricity from cadavers

With the zombie apocalypse just around the corner, it is not surprising that they seek efficient ways to get rid of the corpses that arrive daily to cemeteries. The English seem to have given Durham on the nail with a very clever solution: cremate the bodies and incidentally generate electricity.With the installation of turbines in incinerators, could generate about 150 kilowatt-hours of energy per body given to the flames of R'hllor - enough to power about 1500 TV for an hour. Durham Crematorium plans to sell power to local plants.Before entrepreneurs interested in imitating the English propose to add transmission lines and a pair of turbines to the usually quiet landscape of the city crematorium, take into account the initial investment is quite expensive and profitable business to be needs a steady stream of burning bodies.As explained by Steve Looker, CEO of B & L Cremation Systems, in Europe the idea could catch, since the energy in the Old Continent is quite expensive and emission standards for crematoriums very demanding, creating a scenario where everyone wins, because according to Steve :

    "This makes the cremation process more environmentally friendly, using its by-products"But in America, their homeland, most of their compatriots prefer to be buried, which makes the business unprofitable "in parts of Europe, 90% of people are cremated," says Steve, which means that the initial investment is recovered in about 5 years (with incinerators operated 24 hours a day), but in the U.S. the crematoria operate only 8 hours a day, which would mean about 15 to 20 years waiting to recoup the investment (in that period as Chances are that your body is allowed to see the first time a game you never see, or a complete game if you're the typical stud)It is expected that in the medium term more people choose to be cremated and lower turbine prices.
