Re: US is land of tortured students.

Commendable ignorance ....

The natural world, is governed not by laws of thermodynamics
alone. There is, for instance, Ohm's law. Which states that
if one generates electrical power in China's Three Gorge Dam
for consumers in Beijing then a substantial portion of their
bill goes to paying for heating the atmosphere.

California's savings, through conservation, is 18% y-o-y.

Making it unnecessary to build new power plants. Most of her
large energy consumers generate their own electricity onsite
in recognition of Ohm's law, and the laws of thermodynamics.
Known as co-generation, the heat from electricity generation
is used for heating and cooling purposes. Since the esteemed
netter claims expert command in the laws of thermodynamics,
perhaps a quiz is in order: Is getting cool air from hot air
possible?

Does it not violate the laws of thermodynamics? .... :)

PaPaPeng:

Your post is too hilarious to merit a reply. Its Sunday and I am
going to cycle to the public park to take in the Earth Day gathering.
Its 4 deg C and slightly overcast, an excellent day to bike.

Below is an article from WIKI that should get your started on what the
Laws of Thermodynamics mean. What doesn't get converted into useful
work is wasted in heat. To generate that power you burn fuel.
Burning fuel, a hydrocarbon begets CO2. Go from there.

Admirable diligence ....

Now, perhaps the esteemed netter would not mind searching a
bit harder to uncover the "lost art" of waste heat re-use? A
technique, that the People's Republic of California has been
mandating by law, and widely adopted to displace hydrocarbon
consumption? Admirable effort in revealing those plainly ob-
vious principles on IC, and jet engines notwithstanding, the
esteemed netter must dig a bit deeper, to uncover that magic
of using waste heat for, paradoxically, air conditioning, in
order to save electricity.

Is that not flying in the face of thermodynamics? .... :)

BTW: Even more hilarious is that the US Federal Government
mandated fuel discount for those who can get a better
bang for their hydrocarbon dollar. Those who can ach-
ieve efficiency of 50%, or above, are entitled to the
discount on their fuel. Unlike the PRC, where fuel is
subsidized by the government, albeit indirectly, via
price control. Thus eliminating all together, the in-
centive for fuel efficiency.
