Very good article Dave, thanks! Clean energy in the future will have to come from wind, wave, solar and bio. Ultimately they are all effects of the sun.

Elementary physics! My boyfriend hates junk science and the people that spread it.
Never argue with idiots, they'll just bring you down to their level and beat you with their experience.
