A refrigerator works by removing heat from a confined area and dumping it outside that confined area. It does not destroy heat. It merely moves it around. The more ice you make, the hotter the rest of the area will become.

But how about the concept of using the heat energy of the burning gas from the oil wells? could'nt that be utilised?

Where would you put the heat? blow it into space and effectively drain our athmosphere or down under against a HUGE dT?

Also, gas is not usually flared off anymore, it's either pipelined or shipped as LNG or alcoholized. Or, of course, put to useful work locally.

Thermodynamics genius.

This is a great idea if you feel like blowing several billion dollars to have all your glaciers melted, coastal cities underwater, millions dead, trillions in property damage and a friggin' iceberg in the Sahara.

AMERICAN ENERGY WASTE is EVERYWHERE !

Energy waste in America is horrendous, sinful, stupid, and FIXABLE !(1) We stupidly over heat and over cool our homes, businesses, offices, schools, churches, etc...(2) 10's of millions of outdoor lights burn during the day.(3) Most Americans do not minimize their driving.(4) Over packaging is the norm. Recycling is a joke. Our landfills are as busy as ever.(5) Road construction in America is the ultimate contradiction and is perpetuated by graft that entail Billions of dollar$.

The ONLY way to dramatically reduce America's energy waste and over demand is by using the economics of taxing energy, in lieu of Federal Income Tax. UNTIL the price of gas is $6 to $8 per gallon, hedonistic America will not significantly reduce its over consumption and energy waste. Federal Gas Tax should be $4 to $6 per gallon and 'offset' by making Federal Income Tax begin at $60k. ONLY with a tangible/dollar reward will Americans care to conserve.In the mean time, the USA continues to stupidly 'give away' its economic and political wealth to the Islamic Middle East via OPEC, just so we can continue our energy waste; as if it doesn't matter. Know that the Islamic dominated OPEC cartel is gladly allowing supply and demand market forces to drive energy prices to $6/gallon. It is our 'own dumb hedonistic' fault that the Islamics who want to annihilate us will likely succeed; using our American 'gas money' to buy the weapons needed to do so.

China, India, and other 'developing countries' are just beginning to compete for the world's remaining natural resources. Geopolitical unrest is directly related to global competition for energy. If global demand for energy is not dramatically reduced, World war is inevitable.

Ford and General Motors are headed for bankruptcy, which will leave 100,000,000 Americans unemployed, ruin our economy, and lead to anarchy. America can no longer continue to 'do business as usual'. Unless Ford and GM soon transition to the lucrative business of building solar and wind 'energy producers' for the world's 6.7 BILLION people reason$, they are doomed to die. The world simply cannot continue to support all the automakers. We are running out of petroleum. Wake up !

Mass transit must reward those who reduce their driving and thereby become FREE, SAFE, CLEAN, and CONVENIENT. ( Only then, will significant numbers of people use it.)

America must quickly wake up, get our heads out of our asks, and rapidly implement intelligent sustainable energy conservation, starting with the ONLY workable method; TAXING ENERGY - NOT INCOME!

* STOP the Energy WASTE *Reduce * REDUCE * ReduceAmerica is "wasting away" its economic andpolitical wealth to the OPEC and Islamic cartels.TAX ENERGY ~ NOT INCOME
