Comment on Apple CEO Tim Cook on creating a clean energy futureparent

This is a moot point, if a power plant operates at any significant efficiency, it doesn't matter what the process of generating power is - the generated power will 90% of the time be turned into waste heat anyway.

In the long term, I guess light emitted to space and the embedded energy in spaceships are the only things that don't end up as heat in the atmosphere?

Electrically induced chemical reactions would also store the energy in a way that might not be released as heat, I think.
