Carbon Battery

So we watched The 11th Hour in Physics today. I think one of the more awesome ideas which I haven't been exposed to before this, is the fact that right now, our civilization is living on borrowed sunlight. Normally we'd only be able to harvest energy from whatever plants grow over the course of the year; but because we found all these carbon batteries in oil and coal and all the fossil fuels, we got supercharged into advancement and technology. But like all batteries, they'll run out eventually, and so when that happens (in about 50 year's time according to conservative estimates), life as we know it is pretty much screwed. Unless we're able to fine-tune our alternative sources like fission and fusion or whatever. It's an interesting way of looking it that I've never heard of before. It's quite awesome.

Oh oh oh most hilarious thing today was Shaun's Michael Jackson/X-Box joke. AHAHAHAHAHAHA BLACK THEN WHITE AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Uh, yeah that's most of what I wanted to say today. If you were expecting a story, sorry, I haven't had any ideas or any time to write them down.

Life goes on,
The Edna Man
