Blog 3a TED Talk - Due 1/25

I did Juan Enriquez: Why can't we grow new energy? I did this because I think we should do something for alternative fuel sources before we use all of our natural resources up. We have used biological principles for growing corn and as a result we have probably increased the production per acre of corn by seven fold since the early 1900's. This is a result by Norman Burlock which has probably fed more people than any man alive. He used biological principles towards seeds and brought and end to the severe famine in India and China which now have statues of him. Which now export grain out of their countries.
What is oil, gas and coil? They are concentrated sunlight. How do you farm oil, gas, and oil? We use a brute force approach and we consistelently get bigger, destroying the environment further and further each time. He wants to know can we grow our energy as effectively, as we grow wheat? He mentions some interesting ideas during his speech. He supposively says it may be possible by splitting genes and condonons by taking one cell and another cell and creating our own energy. He also mentions using biology to turn organic material into energy. According to this site, he does just that one month after this speeech.
