Re: opposition of a rule?

Out of curiosity, which rule (from last years book) do you want to have changed, exactly (I'm assuming <R34>)? When you say "alternative energy source", exactly what are you thinking should be allowed that isn't?

The "typical" use I'm aware of for an alternator is to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy - such as using your car's gas engine to recharge the battery. How do you want to create that mechanical energy in the first place?
