I personally think that Wise is a secret terrorist plot to sap America, Canada, and the US of their productivity by starting topics that lead nowhere.

That electricity HAS A SOURCE of power. What is it?
To be more precise, you're asking about energy, not power. Power is the rate of doing work. Work is a force and movement in the direction of the force. Energy is the capacity for doing work.
And The Answer Is.... The sun! (and, to a lesser degree, geothermal energy from radioactive decay).
If you think that the sun is some sort of spiritual being, by all means, resurrect sun worship. It'll be interesting.

Nah, the tubeworm ecosystems would do just fine on geothermal (radioactive decay) energy alone.

Evidence, apart form the multiply-copied, transcribed from oral tradition, legends of a 4 thousand year old nomadic desert shepherd tribe being taken at face value?
quote:
But then again,does our voltage drop when the sun goes down?
1) Voltage != Energy. Energy is in watts - and it can be electricity, heat, kinetic, you name it. Voltage * Current = Energy, in the case of electricity.
2) Does a battery instantly discharge when you stop charging it? No? Neither does the planet Earth lose all of its energy when the sun is no longer shining in a particular face. In the long-term absence of light, it would steadily decay to a lower energy state.

Brad vs. Wise
You know what I would just love to see? A debate between Brad and Wise. I'd fix (insert your favorite dessert here) and mail it for anyone who can read the entire debate well enough to be able to recite each of their key arguments from all of their posts, while at the same time not having their head explode.

Ok, wise, I know you never read links, but I'll hope against hope....
That man is Daniel Ekechukwu. When you get that flock of flying pigs, sit down with them to read why this is not true (from here). Also, when the sun rises in the west over the icy landscape of hell, you can read the contradictory accounts of this story here. I'll be waiting in the barn to hear what your comments are, since I know you'll read the links when the cows come home.

Yeah... he's right, you know. We should go back to working on nonscientific tasks like developing a unified field theory.
