What with Dan Quayle inventing a new way to spell potato(e), and Al Gore inventing the internet, one could be forgiven for thinking (like the guy at the US patent office in the last century) that there was nothing else left to invent.

Enter phytoremediation, OK OK so it's not new, but the things you can do with it are, all you need to do is grow willow trees on contaminated land and with a couple of lateral leaps you can:-

1. clean-up various nasties such as heavy metals by
2. growing a renewable resource that can be coppiced and
3. used as a NFFO (non fossil fuel obligation) feedstock in power stations
4. attracting European Community funds for a renewable energy project

And best of all it ensures a good supply of ready material to make all those hampers on display at Henley, whilst listening to the 'crack of leather on willow' at Lords (yup thats what hereditary Peers get upto!)

There is a definite surge of interest in Phytoremediation in terms of questions addressed to the 'Ask-a-Guru' part of the website. The following points have been raised to date:-

2. BIORENEW Phytoremediation project
3. Phytoremediation - information needed
4. Phytoremediation - MSc project
5. Phytoremediation project - collaborators/funds sought
