Dead Physicist Who Didn't Own a Comb Showed That Renewable Energy Doesn’t Add Up

Courtesy of that indefatigable internet voyager, Captain Heinrichs, and that fine blog, Small Dead Animals, comes this article explaining Albert Einstein’s famous formula, plus the limits of renewable energy.


”And, so, voilà! Light, flaky biscuits every time!”

An excellent article, and spot on.

Alas, the greenies will never accept its truth, because it involves that scary phrase, "nuclear power".

And they are idiots for thinking thus.

I agree with JeffS - a most enjoyable read. And the comments were worth reading as well.

So that's why my biscuits don't come out as light and flakey! If I had only read that receipe closer. Or could it be the five hour baking time needed by that solar oven in the backyard. Ed Begley said it worked perfectly, but to be patient.

I love this kind of stuff, even when I don't understand all of the concepts. If I can just get the basic gist of it, I'm happy.

As for my understanding of relativity, I have a T-shirt that says it all: "Spend a week in Maui and it seems like a day. Spend a day at work and it seems like a week. That's relativity."

(Not really, but you get my drift.

You know, folks, I'm going to have to go back and collect some of these gems and do a post on them.
