From one of my old articles:
http://www.science20.com/chatter_box/mad_20Coal PowerThis is the law of the voltage:
that the current shall turn into heat
that the kilowatt-hours through the meter
are dumped out as unwanted heat.
And this is the law of the rich ones:
that we use all the oil and coal,
that the rich ones be made even richer
though the ice disappear from each pole;
though the tundra be burned up with fire;
though the oceans be lifeless all through;
Monckton says that this isn't a problem -
ipse dixit, ergo it is true.
