That's because they harvest, compress and transport pre-existing heat from the air, the ground or the water.

Record breaking prices for artwork sales do not, sadly, represent an investment in art and artists.
Investors are reducing their taxable profits before the end of the tax year with big one-off purchases while universities cut their humanities faculties and artists earn less than minimum wage.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
