Now my comments about the iron pan and observations.

I will compare it to a train.
Heat is energy.
Momentum is energy.
Trains use far less fuel per ton than a truck or car due to momentum.

In a nut shell a heavy pan with more mass has more "momentum" than a light one made of aluminum.

It is also less susceptible/reactive to changes in heat/energy feed fluctuations than an aluminum one.
Just like letting off the throttle on a speed boat will slow it down fast where as an oil tanker takes forever to slow down with the engines ran to full stop.

we need to makeour soils like a cast iron skillet not an aluminum one.
The same with our homes too.

In reality our cars need to have a higher ballistic coefficient

With all the technology they have done much to decrease some pollution and very little to get better mileage.
They have put people in tiny little light weight cars that have one hell of a hard time pushing the air out of the way to keep at speed.

And most of all what I see here is too many people running around in these big 4 wheel drive 4 door giant wheeled Blacktop Queen trucks.
They never get off road and used for joy rides for the most part.
