Ken The U of A study doesn't look right with the numbers. Fertilizer is usually derived from ammonia or hydrocarbons which eats a lot of oil. Your right that oil is a precious feed stock for a lot of petro chemicals, plastics ect. Airplanes and ships need concentrated energy sources to operate but we sure don't need it to heat the majority of homes. Right now I'm working on putting in an earth coupled heat pump which extracts about 4.25 watts of heat out of the ground for every 1 watt of electricity consumed from the utility. The technology has been around for years and is used a lot in Europe and now Canada is pushing it to solve some of their problems with energy consumption. Our family has a 2700sq ft home in the San Juan islands of Washington state that runs entirely on solar. It's very comfortable and that's with 10 year old technology! We have TV, microwave and all the comforts of home. There is no power or phone service to the island. It can be done. Eric P.S. To give you an idea how much energy is available, noon day sun falling on 1 square meter is equivalent to 1 kilowatt! That's a lot of energy falling on earth!
