Believe it or not Eric, I'm not an ignorant fool who can't see the obvious.

Gads... did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? I never called you a fool. Chill man, chill.

Do you know how much potential wind energy is on the planet?

Where does all of that energy eventually go? I'll give you a hint... Heat. Frictional losses become heat. And the original source of all that wind? The sun!

Solar energy converted to electrons becomes heat.. (In PV's)

Except for a small, very small amount of light that escapes the earth from light sources powered by solar energy...

It eventually basically all gets converted to heat Jorj. Now if you want to talk about albido impress me.

Take some basic physics classes...........

Pathetic

When you burn fossil fuels your dumping all of that stored solar energy that took 50 million plus years into the environment in less than 200 years.

It's a very, very big number my friend.
