Conventional sources such as solar thermal or advanced fission could provide
far more energy per capita with greatly reduced pollution. Cold fusion or
some other radically new source of energy could do this at a cost 100 to
1000 times cheaper

Thanks for that. It's really impressive.
A couple of comments though:
In cold climates, Incandescent bulbs provide heat that would otherwise come
from other sources,so the burden of them is not so high as being projected.
Of course, in the summer that's not true.
Incandescent bulbs also have

Hi,
This appears to be the same technology used in CRT TV sets. I wonder what the
energy of the electrons is, and whether or not x-rays are produced?
An alternative to CFL and LED is emerging:

e.g.incubators ,non-linear resistor elements in electronic circuitry . . .
I think dedicated resistance heaters would be better for this
application. They would last longer and would be less
Hoyt sez:
However, since Steorn and BlackPower are coming out with
free energy technologies soon it's kind of irrelevent about
efficiency, isn't it?
Even a hypothetical free energy BLP generator in my basement would
end up costing me something, though presumably a lot less than what

I wouldn't worry about that. Obsolete technology never vanishes, as I said.
You can still buy washboards and coal shovels. The only

We should also remember that energy is already free. It is by far the
most abundant resource in the universe, from the sun and other
sources. As Arthur Clarke pointed out in Profiles of the Future
