Oh yeah... fusion rocks. It's awesome to have THE SUN around.

Burning fossil fuels creates Smaug.

Actually, according to all of the Tolkien scholars I have read (1), a gross accumulation of wealth is what creates Smaug.  Smaug came down from the north because the riches of the dwarfs tempted him.  Kinda like Hrothgar's golden hall in "Beowulf", it attracts the envy and hate of a monster.

(1) - nerd alert!

Kintaro:
What the hell is Smaug?

worker201:
Smaug is the evil dragon from Tolkien's "The Hobbit"

Kintaro:
Ah! Now it all makes sense.
