I did, and it is true if you add in all of the agricultural energy
such as fertilizer production, etc.
It was true, not anymore.

Well, halleluiah and praise be to the corn gods. Cheap perpetual
energy. Oh, and by the way, the science community better get busy
re-writing the laws of physics.
I posit that "perpetual" energy really isn't relevant. If you were an
early settler to this continent, and spent a day cutting down a tree and
sawing it into firewood, you had a source of energy for your cooking and
heating fires that would last a long, long time, and would certainly
provide more energy in terms of BTUs and other measurements than you
expended.
