In summary, the conversation discusses the idea of obtaining energy from dense elements such as gold and lead, and questions the belief that organic living is a real concept. The conversation concludes by stating that posting nonsense to debunk is not allowed and the thread is closed.

It seems to go on the premise that since it's dense, you can get energy from it... well, I guess gold and lead would be great sources as well then!
They say it's abundant, but that seems to be a crock as well.. wikipedia lists it as one of the rarest elements in the solar system.

It's a site that believes there is something called organic living. (As opposed to what?)

That tells me all I need to know.

Please do not post nonsense to debunk -- that's not allowed at the PF. Thread is closed.
