rkral: It took millions of years of pressure to create fossil fuels and the density of energy stored therein. We are not going to replicate that kind of energy storage and subsequent release short of nuclear where the binding force of the atom is released (another form of energy that has been stored for a long time). The idiots on this board, who reflect at best a familiarity with pop junk science, know nothing about Thermodynamic, Physics and/or Chemistry Principles. Their economics are tinged with liberal talking points and their is no in depth scientific knowledge incorporated in anything they speak of. That is the problem with our country - most people don't know what the f' they are talking about because the Classic Education is dead. I would venture to say there are few members of this board who have degrees in Engineering,Chemistry or Physics that spout this crap. People should educate themselves about the cost of producing mobile energy before they start their lips moving. They should also try and educate themselves in the principles of Chemistry,Geology and Physics without a political solution in mind. The laws of the universe are not bound by a political agenda. Let me share an anecdote which is true and reflects the ignorance of current day policy makers with no scientific education. They were meeting at FERC and "brainstorming". One lawyer said, "Well why don't we just put all the coal/nuke fired power plants in uninhabited places and bring the electricity in by transmission wires?" One of the few scientists at the meeting said, "..the line losses would prohibit such a scheme". The lawyer countered with, "Well get rid of the line losses surely if we put a man on the moon we can do that". The engineer replied,"That would mean repealing Ohms Law". The lawyer thought for a minute and asked."When did Congress pass that one?"
