Me too. The Hoover dam was brought on line in 1934. Jeeze what progress we've made in the last 69 years.

I'll have a Corona on that! ... uh, that doesn't work 'cause Coronas are imported. Oh well, I have a cousin who figured out how to generate electricity in a closed osmotic pressure cell. Except for the membrane wearing out, it's kind of like a perpetual motion machine.

This is completely different from the physical process described here, which does not rely on a magnetic generator, and is, rather, a substitute for it. No, I really didn't get it. LOL! I was intrigued enough to ask my husband to explain it. Thanks for your help! Sometimes my husband isn't around and I just have to be puzzled all night long.

I thought this was going to be a Scottish joke. When I was in England a few years back I heard this old one about the Welsh:
The Welsh have just discovered two new uses for sheep.
Meat and wool.

Vision of the future -- cell phone usage now requires two hands; one to hold the phone, the other to operate the pump for the hydroelectric energy cell that operates the phone.

The tipoff that this was a crank article was this phrase:
Hydrocarbon fuels are still the best source of energy, but they’re fast running out...
In the first place, Paul Erlich lost the bet; There are more petroleum reserves now that at any time in the past.
In the second place, what about zero-emission, environmentally-friendly nuclear power?
