Learn it. Now.

In my reading of various items on all the "miraculous" solutions for abundant, cheap energy that keep cropping up like little poison mushrooms on the Internet, I am reminded of the classic conspiracy tale of the 100 mpg carburetor for automobiles, which has to be 50 years old.

Every person who wants to talk about energy -even casually- ought to be required to learn this, and pass a thorough exam on it. Actually, anyone interested in the subject can benefit from regular reading of Robert Rapier's blog.

During breaks, they must repeat Heinlein's mantra: TANSTAAFL*
