Yes...while you're looking for a new source of energy, make sure find one that doesn't result in creation of waste heat. This should only require an amendment to the laws of thermodynamics. :-)

It seems to me that possibly the worst thing that could have happened to upset the equilibrium of the globe has been the demise of the USSR. At least we had some sort of balance back then.
