        But these potatoes are produced using rare earth elements! It seems green but in reality it's a hoax! Very sad! I power my appliances with coal directly and unless somebody creates something 100% clean I will continue to do so!

        True. Fission energy could only sustain us for another 3-4 eons. But by then, fusion will only be 20-30 years away!

        That's a big one. There's enough potato there to feed at least 3, maybe 4 Irishmen.

        Waiting for the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s attacks to begin. Surely this potato power is subsidized and a danger to the grid. It must be driving coal plants into early retirement.
