Reply #76: I agree with you, Sir, but have one additional point...

I, too, believe that the earthquake and resulting tsunami were completely natural occurances, and that Man, in no way, shape or form, has any ablitity to affect plate tectonics. As you so aptly described, it's all about energy, and we just don't have enough.

You said:
A given expenditure of energy cannot produce the expenditure of an amount of energy more than twenty-eight millions times itself.

However, in the case of fissionable weapons, a small expenditure of energy (the conventional explosion which compacts the plutonium) is used to release the stored atomic energy, which causes the big boom. Though it is not the case, some may misinterpret this energy release as energy creation.

I will continue to look forward to your posts, Sir.
