I'm happy that there have been over 90 views of the above OP — some replies would be nice.
Anyhow, I mentioned in the OP that a while back I'd started another thread about energy derivation, but that I couldn't find it. Finally, I tracked it down. It's here:

Anyone who's found the OP in the current thread interesting might find the earlier one engaging. A lot of good info, insight, and opinion was shared, so I feel the whole thread is worth a read-through. Anyhow, I'd welcome you to post on either thread.
