Farmer - above you were certain that "physics demands it", yet you now state that heating the planet with the CO2 created by burning our limited supply of fossil fuels is an "opinion" .... me thinks you need to study more physics -
start here [the American Institute of Physics]
it's not a matter of any weenies "favored forms of energy", it's about a
dis-favored form, fossil carbon, which has way more valuable uses than burning, such as the chemicals and medicines that "power" our modern world
oh - and
"mini turbines" are in the works
