If you have a refrigerator that consumes 500 watts
of electricity and it runs continuously, it's producing exactly
the
same amount of heat as five 100 watt light bulbs.

Not sure that is 100% true. There is lots of waste heat, but
the
refrigeration system is expending energy pumping heat out of the
refrigerated
area, just so it can gradually be absorbed back from your heated
home.
At
the
end of the day, does all of the energy that the refrigerator uses
really
show
up
as waste heat in the room?

My head hurts.

Yes Vaughn, it does all end up in heat, in the room, which then leaks
out
of the house and heats the outside world, which then also leaks off
the
planet and heats SPACE..... wheather it is "Waste Heat" is a matter of
Politics.......

But there is no heat in space... it's 0 degrees Kelvin



There is no such thing as "0 Degrees Kelvin"... What Grade School Physics
Class did you flunk out of? If that were true, all Dark Matter would
dissaccociate, and Physics as we understand it wouldn't work at all.
If there is no heat in space, then where does the waste heat go, that
the Heat Dissipating Panels, that line the Shuttle Cargo Bay Doors
go?.... Space is not a void. It has Gas, Dust, and all kinds of
Particles, moving around in it. These all have energy associated with
them, when referenced to Earth, or any other reference point you can
name. That energy, will ulltimatly be transfered into heat when those
things interact with any other matter, or energy, in which they come in
contact, or influence.

where do you guys come up with this stuff..... Idiot's R' Us........

Ok Mr ****y... space is 2.7 Kelvin

But if you measured the temp with NO light, or radiation, it would be 0
Kelvin.

Happy Now?
