To be fair, the last 70 years is essentially the entire history of us being capable of nuking ourselves at all…

Just to add to this, when you hear people talking about "energy loss", what they are actually talking about is the loss of useful energy.
With the burning stuff as an example they might be talking about the amount of energy "lost" by making light when what they wanted was just heat.

Reply to LPT: Since April 1st is coming up. A good tip to live by is that everyone should be able to laugh at your prank at the end. If everyone ends up laughing at the person getting pranked, and they are just the punchline, chances are you're just being a jerk. Don't be a jerk. by moosepooo
Also, Firefly is not coming back for a season 2, no product announced tomorrow is real, and generally be skeptical of anything you see on the internet that seems too good to be true (anytime, but especially April 1st).
