      XPost: talk.politics.guns, sci.energy       From: muratlanne@gmail.com              "Just Wondering" wrote in message news:z2ZmN.171077$7sbb.78501@fx16.iad...              If you want to be pedantic, all power is ultimately gravity power.       I was going to say all power is ultimately solar, but even the       fusion that powers stars (and creates the radioactive metals used       in nuclear power) is the result of gravity compressing the star's       contents. But that's not what anybody normally means when talking       about solar.              --------------------------              I firmly do NOT want to be pedantic, it hinders analyzing and solving       problems. Although I have a science degree that covered Thermodynamics and       several years of Physics I "gravitated' to practical engineering, expanding       the scribbled dreams of Ph.D. theoreticians into fleshed-out designs,       building them and making them work.
