Energy is leverage. Useable energy is man’s means of multiplying his own puny physical efforts well beyond what would otherwise be possible.
How puny? Well, how many Olympic cyclists does it take to toast a single slice of bread?
Energy production is essential to human civilisation. Real energy production.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
