My suspicions about the cult of higher education have been confirmed.

. I believe in can do the same way you believe in impossible.

Your ignorance of the laws of thermodynamics notwithstanding, they exist and all physical processes are subject to them. This isn't a matter of opinion. It isn't subject to polls. You can't take a vote and decide to suspend reality for H2 (or for ethanol.) There aren't any exceptions. The fact remains that taking H2 containing fossil fuel and extracting the H2 costs a significant fraction of the available energy in the fossil fuel to start with.

However, don't let me rain on your parade. You can take every cent you have (after the government finishes plundering you of course) and invest it in schemes to make H2 as a motor fuel. If you're right, you'll be richer than Bill Gates. Go for it. I wish you luck.

Thanks Doc, but I wouldn't invest a penny in H2 or any other motor fuel. Don't need to be richer than Bill Gates, although it is interesting that you used a college drop out like Bill for your example.

Before I retired, I made a good living building working models for inventors and engineers. I have built many prototypes of inventions that are now being used by people just like you.
I don't mind at all being called ignorant by an academic like yourself. You attack my intelligence because I disagree with your dogma, yet you have no response on the violation of the law of thermal dynamics when it comes to nuclear energy.

You can say that there is no violation and go into a long discourse on nuclear theory, but that's what you guys always do.

Acadamia is very good at explaining a breakthrough after the fact, but has failed miserably at inventing.

Take your own field of biology. Cancer still kills millions. Diabetics are still having their limbs amputated. We've poured money by the ton into acadamia to solve these problems, but have gained absolutely nothing in return.

I realize that you are just defending the paycheck you recieve for perpetual study, but it irks me the way you guys try to belittle the people who have created the prosperity that you enjoy.
