Oh I tried that.Chronos said:Solar heating is, however, the next best thing to free energy since the sun will continue to shine for a very long time whether we harness it or not. This is the energy source that powers things like waterfalls, hurricanes and tornados. We have already found ways to siphon energy from waterfalls [hydroelectric]. Imagine how much energy is potentially available from storms. It might even be technologically feasible. I have this vision of giant turbines, strategically placed to siphon energy from hurricanes. The turbines would, in turn, power lasers that use these immense, but short lived bursts of energy to punch holes in the Earth's crust - creating geothermal energy wells. Pretty nutty, eh?
It doesn't work.
oooops, forgot to lock it.
