Not if the thermodynamic laws hold true.
... That's exactly what I was referring to? You seem to be confused. Your responded to a post stating that energy is never destroyed, with the sentence: "Energy is about the only resource where this doesn't hold true."

Once you use the energy and it turns into heat, you can no longer use it.

First, heat is energy. Second, you can use heat as heat. Third, you can use heat to boil water to turn a turbine to create electricity, which you can use to do very many things, including create heat.

No, you can't do that. If you could do that, you could build a perpetuum mobile.
Now, whether we can effectively use the energy is an entirely other question. There's plenty of technical limitations. But in a closed system there's no reason an object cannot have perpetual motion with perfect energy recovery. Of course, closed systems don't help us, because they cannot exert useful work outside of the system.

You can't. You can increase the efficiency that way, but you can't use it to produce limitless energy. We wouldn't be burning fossil fuels if that was an option.

#217What do you mean by "litre"? What do you mean by "used"? What do you mean by "produced"?
I have tried to contact you many times through your wrapbootstrap site, but all attempts have sadly been ignored. So, I'm going to try this route. I recently purchased a theme on your site, but I never received the download link, even though I paid for it. What are you going to do about it?
Thanks, Nicholas Marx
