If anyone knows the heat of vaporization of carbon-carbon please post it. My intuition is that while it will take more energy to vaporize than does iron, it won't absorb anywhere near enough to make a difference. -- Mob rule doesn't become any prettier, just because the mob start to call itself a government.
