Ah, the regression of modern science.

So I'm in this Physics and Renewable Energy class. Which is cool. Only it kicks me in the rear whenever I look the other way. But whatev.

And I'm reading the textbook while sitting at work (where I still am) and it's this chapter about biomass fuel. The introduction is talking about all the different ways to harness energy from nature --> My thought process, in the form of a science-announcer-person and his audience:

It's the new wave of the future, the marvels of modern science! We're going...back...to the steam engine...and burning firewood...
But look at this! The wonders of a new age; harnessing ethanol to fuel our hi-tech cars!!!

*You mean like the Model-T did?*

Er...The Model-T was a figment of your imagination. ... Just like China.
