It's an interesting area of study. It led me into subjects/topics that I
never dreamed would be applicable, much less hugely significant.
As you point out, not all sites are suitable for home heating - but you
can do a lot of learning in the shade and testing out your ideas in even
just a small patch of sunshine...

I might be able to ship you a crate of beavers for a reasonable price.
Just sneak over and put peanut butter on the base of those trees and turn
em loose!

Correct Scientific Terminology:
Hypothesis - a guess as to why or how something occurs
Theory - a hypothesis that has been checked by enough experiments
to be generally assumed to be true.
Law - a hypothesis that has been checked by enough experiments
in enough different ways that it is assumed to be truer then a theory.
Note: nothing is proven in science, things are assumed to be true.
