Default Re: Universal Renewable Energy: Suitable Substitute for Morning Sex?

I am skeptical an appliance the size of a refrigerator is going to provide enough power to meet the demands of a 4-ton air conditioner unit and an electric clothes dryer at the same time. I think it would have be closer to the size of a Buick and have a huge radiator to vent the heat lost due to ineffiency of something that would meet the spot demand. Electrolysis is probably less than 50% efficient and fuel cells are too, which means it will take four houses worth of energy to provide one house with power. Then again, conventional batteries aren't any better.
