Nick one thing to remember....
Energy can't be destroyed, it only changes form.
So whenever someone talks about wasting energy or squandering it - stop them dead in their tracks and remind them you are working in an industry incapable of depletion. ;-)
I'm doing my bit at consumption...ahem...regeneration.
Best wishes,

PS
Loved the paper. Eminently logical. I see you're working with some of the folks just a bit north of here. I guess earth sentimentality keeps me hoping for a liquid H2O ocean origin to erosion - but I am more inclined to believe anything is indeed possible.
