Seems fair :-)
How about marshmallows on really long sticks?
Drop one of those bad boys in your cocoa, it'll boil instantly...no more microwaves needed!! :-D

Now that idea I like!
But it does really bug me that people rant, even violently protest, without thinking it through. Take wind energy. If a turbine was able (they aren't yet) to harness 1% of the wind passing it, the wind the other side hass 99% of the power it had. So 100 turbines would mean a dead calm on the lee side. Pollen relies on wind, as does much of nature. What are the quincyquonces? I don't think we know.
If we dam every river or bay to grab tidal power, what does that do th the eco-systems that existed there? I don't think we know.
In summary, I'm not about to go and bash a copper over the head to save the planet when I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Having no idea what you're talking about
If you'd like to have an idea what you're talking about, try reading this book, available for free online Sustainable Energy - without the hot air by Prof. David MacKay.
