I would like to point out that if it had been taken with a HTC Desire HD it would have been even better!

I would like to point out that if it had been taken with a Canon 5Dmk2 it would have been even better!

And so on, and so on, and on...

I am ashamed to admit that I have too much time on my hands today. The same video, with an alternate soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXZrkqKo8NQ

Nice. Somehow I expected "The Final Countdown" to be playing.

What does this mean?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

By that logic, fossil fuel is a storage medium too. Solar energy was used as the energy source to make fossil fuel.

True, with the difference being humans (and our predecessors) had to wait hundreds of thousands of years for the fossil fuels to form under the immense pressure (and additional energy input) of the earth.

And you believe that the value of this observation is what, exactly?

That we are wasting energy which has been stored and untapped for hundreds of thousands of years? Do we really expect that our ancestors will be better able to exploit this value than we are... without our given expliotation? Will this be true forever? Should we just let that stored energy remain forever?

Ceteris parabis, we will extract exactly as much value from our ancestors as makes sense. And our ancestors will do exactly the same. I do not begrudge them that any mire than I begrudge us this current state of affairs.

And yet despite all this amazing intellectual capability we seem somehow unable to balance a government budget, year after year after year. Hmmmmmm....
