To look at it another way, the power company could generate 600 to 700 kWh of electricity and sell it to me for a gram of gold. They would have to spend <i>a million times </i>that much energy to &quot;make&quot; a gram of gold. And unless someone makes some big changes to the laws of physics, it&#039;ll <i>always</i> take colossal amounts of energy to &quot;make&quot; gold from base metals. That&#039;s just the way nuclei work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
