Gersh- I am re-tooling my home, getting ready to resell and step up and out to the country in GA. I bookmarked the pages. Geo-thermal is big in my area because of the rock deposits. I need to study this. Thank you. Reid

That's pretty corny, Gersh ....sorry. Guess they won't be asking me to do the monolog in place of Jay Leno any time soon... Good point about hydrogen. But I bet if there were incentive, somebody could figure out a way to get hydrogen from seawater cheaply and efficiently. Maybe corn has a place, but from a thermodynamic standpoint it is ultimately very inefficient. Sunlight gets converted to energy with a major loss of efficiency in multiple steps along the way. And, you have to grow the corn, and so supply energy. I am not saying it is not economical, just that it will not be the sort of solution that will be practical on a large-scale basis (i.e., global), because at large scales the inefficiencies become increasingly significant.
