I know there’s not a lot of folks with a solid, or strong, Thermodynamics/Energy Heat Transfer background, and those that do are a very small minority. But those that do, know this to be true because of the proven science behind it.
But because it was nasty old white men that came up with the science, it must all be a lie. /s
The reality is; until the technology evolves to the point where alternative energy resources can commercially compete completely on their own standing and merit in a capitalist society, liquid fuels will continue to remain....regardless of the squinty-eyed Pig Face and its merry band of evil cohorts with their idealogical wet dreams.
How long would these enterprises last without being subsidized?
