You are both right.<br />
<br />
They are definitely not getting something for nothing. They are taking energy that would have gone into the soil, and then probably into future crops, and turning it into electrical energy. I myself don't know if this is dangerous to do, whether it will adversely affect crops, etc.<br />
<br />
It is essentially what you're doing with plants, and also with fossil fuels, wind power, and even solar power. The thing is though, there is so much solar power out there in so many forms that…

It is essentially what you're doing with plants, and also with fossil fuels, wind power, and even solar power. The thing is though, there is so much solar power out there in so many forms that it's really pretty okay to harness it, even if it is an inefficient way to harness the sun's power (Do you eat meat? That's really just an inefficient way of harnessing the energy of a bunch of plants, which is really just an inefficient way of using the sun's energy.<br />

Until we start worrying about trying to build a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyson_sphere" target="_blank">Dyson Sphere</a> I think we're going to have to deal with inefficiently using the sun's energy. Hmm yeah it seems like an ine…tag:www.urgentevoke.com,2010-03-23:4871302:Comment:590282010-03-23T17:53:21.501ZJonathan Osbornehttp://www.urgentevoke.com/profile/JonathanOsborne
Hmm yeah it seems like an inefficient way of harnessing solar power (essentially what you're doing with plants). And the effects on the soil or water table can be pretty detrimental.
