I'd be willing to bet that a large percentage of people on this list instinctively know that hydro-electric energy is the release of stored solar potential -- and the rest can figure it out with just a few moments thought. It is an unfortunate fact that these percentages are completely flipped among the general population. It is an even more unfortunate fact that most U.S. policy makers are equally ignorant of the same basic science. -p. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
