Well, I guess they are talking about energy that is put to some useful use, not just going off into the air. Like that electricity that comes out of the wires and whatnot during a transmission. A good example is you get out on a crowded highway where there is a bunch of cars jammed up, you can feel the heat coming off but it is not making the cars go. So it is wasted as far as transportation goes. Same with a computer, you have got to have a fan to blow off all the heat even when the dadgum thing is not doing any computing.

As to that chart, I did some investigating to find out who this Lawrence Livermore is and it turns out the Bechtel people are behind it which figures, along with the U.S. Government.

Now it says there is also some National Academy of science outfit involved but you can find science going every which way. Like the man said, somebody has got to stand up to these experts and I am glad to see somebody doing it.
