### Nay, I wouldn't agree with you. It is actually quite difficult to gain
the knowledge and experience necessary to reject useless ideas. Such
rejection solves huge problems - if only more thinkers were able to reject
religion, or environmentalism, the world would be a much nicer place.
So how much useful energy can you obtain from 90 grams of hydrogen? And how
much energy do you need to break up a cubic meter of granite (probably about
8 tons), heat it high enough to dissociate hydrogen from the crystalline
lattices, and bring it up to the surface?
Yes-saying takes effort, too.
