Description: Juan Enriquez contestă definiţia noastră a bionergiei. Petrolul, cărbunele, gazul şi alte hidrocarburi nu sunt produse chimice ci biologice, bazate pe materialul din plante -- deci cultivabile. Atitudinea noastră faţă de combustibil trebuie să se schimbe, argumentează el.

Most people think of bioenergy as ethanol or solar panels, but oil, coal, and gas are actually ancient, concentrated sunlight—biological products built up over millions of years. The way agriculture shifted from brute force to biology unleashed a sevenfold leap in productivity, an innovation desperately needed in energy. Today, 86 percent of our energy still comes from hydrocarbons, yet we leave two-thirds of oil underground and waste tremendous potential. Recognizing hydrocarbons as growable, biological systems opens the door to more sustainable, efficient, and creative energy solutions.
