Here is a great article that explains the relationship between E=MC^2 and “renewable energy”. http://www.energytribune.com/articles.c ... ng-E-=-mc2 |

That's a fantastic article. I also remember reading once that you can get as much energy from just one lump of coal as they currently get from a vast quantity of coal - if, instead of burning coal, it was used for a nuclear reaction. The only reason it isn't done is because you can get many more times power from things like uranium, plutonium etc. |

In the same vein though I remember reading the same thing about ordinary sea water and we have an awful lot of that around the globe. |
