Is it more trouble than it's worth to create new forms of energy?

People wish they could create new forms of energy; new forms of energy are discovered, not made by us. But the search for new ways to harness the energy we know about in the world is more than a worthwhile pursuit. If we can find ways to produce abundant power that doesn't involve dumping pollutants into our air and water, we will be entering a whole new phase of life on earth.

What is thermodynamics?
the study of how energy changes and moves
What law states that energy can change form but is never created or destroyed?
It is the Law of Conservation of Energy, aka the First Law of Thermodynamics.The concept of energy is one of the most fundamental concepts of science.This is the first law of thermodynamics and it is worth saying in several ways.(A) Energy is conserved.(That is short and accurate answer but non-scientists are not used to the word "conserved" being used in this way. But, scientists use it to mean "Stays the same" all the time.)(B) Energy can change from one form of energy to another, but energy can not be created or destroyed.(This is a fundamental law of Nature and the first law of thermodynamics, that energy of a closed system can never change. Sometimes it is said that "the total energy of the universe is always the same." )Discussion:Nature provides us with the Law of Conservation of Energy, whichever way you want to say it. It was about 400 years ago that science started to understand energy. At first it was only kinetic energy, the energy of motion, that was observed unchanged.Soon this was expanded to include gravitational potential energy. Later this expanded to other forms such as elastic potential energy, heat energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, electrical and many other forms, including the famous "mass energy," E=mc2.How grand to know that the first law of thermodynamics says that we will never run out of energy. Alas, the second law says that Entropy is the problem and energy cannot always be used to do work.Aside: There is a big discussion in cosmology now about "dark energy." This should not be confused with the possibility that maybe energy is not conserved. The truth is that cosmologists have no idea what this "dark energy" is and it is not even a sure thing that it is energy.)
Is free energy possible?
Nature is full of free energy: Life. The question is: are we moral enough to handle this energy, if we were to get our hands on it and manipulate it. People are searchng for free energy as if it were gold. Which is close to the truth, of course. But we have to ask ourselves how much we value the sacred gift of life, and if it's worth putting it to use for utility stuff.
Are microwaves ionising or non-ionising?
Ionising. Betas regularly carry a couple of million electron-volts worth of energy. The energy required to ionise an electron is typically less than 100 electron-volts.
What is energy?
Energy can be scientifically defined as the ability to do work.
What is worth the while?
When something was "worth the while," it was worth the time and trouble to do.

Will you need to create an artificial environment to live on Pluto?
Very much so. The amount of work involved to create one would be more trouble than it's worth. It's very cold on Pluto, there's very low light levels, so not much will grow and there is no atmosphere.

What is the reward for completing the shield of arrav?
A few coins. Not worth the trouble, really. I would do the quests for the fun of it, mainly, and for the honor of having a certain amount of quest points.A few coins. Not worth the trouble, really.
