Global Warming as an Info-Entropy Source of Fuel

In 1823 Olbers formulated the problem of the dark night sky as a paradox of cosmological geometry, but its overriding significance to us as living beings is its functioning as an info-entropy engine. Landauer’s seminal work (following Shannon and Brillouin teaches us that information has calculable entropy and obeys physical laws, while the introduction by Jaynes of maximum entropy (MaxEnt) as the basis of the rules of thermodynamics (for example, the determination of the partition function) is now recognized as farreaching. The associated variational approach to entropy production first described by Onsager also provides critical insights into issues of thermodynamic reciprocity and symmetry in systems far from equilibrium. There are a huge number of alternative energy sources, from zero-emissions nuclear to solar and wind, and the world of renewable energy technology grows more diverse and advanced all the time. One of these alternative energies, however, may not be as clean or renewable as you may think.
