Sorry Larryinkc, I did not mean to ignore your discussion. "The First Law of Thermodynamics" is beyond my pay grade. It did to me not sound right to describe it as "Law of Conservation of Energy" So I looked up Thermodynamics in the dictionary.

There is a difference between conservation and conversion. What forum did you read that on ?[This message has been edited by cliffw (edited 02-25-2021).]

Your consternation concerning the conversation may indicate that your comprehension is convoluted.
Consider the conditions: While the energy is converted, it is not depleted. Consequently, it is conserved.

The concept of "green energy" has always puzzled me and the assertion that essentially it just needs harvesting via solar panels, windmills, wave generators, etc. and has no effect on anything
The First Law of Thermodynamics might suggests that could be problematic
This "free energy" generally comes to us in one form or another, so if we gather this energy to do things humans see as important its no longer available to do whatever it was doing before

Ok. Thinking about it, ... eating food creates energy in the human body and every other living being.

It does not create energy though. The food has the energy (the amount it contains is clearly printed on the packaging). Your body just converts it from potential energy.[This message has been edited by LitebulbwithaFiero (edited 02-25-2021).]
