Energy
Energy fascinates me. The ability for any abstract object to form chemical pathways for its use is mind blowing. We as human lifeforms have developed the ability to do cellular respiration which allows the body to produce energy in metabolic pathways. ATP/ATD are amazing to think about as a celluar currency that performs certain functions. The way in which cells build increasing complexity out of a 2d sequences of base pairs.... cellular respiration and photosynthesis pathways both use ATP to function. Each has a different hydrogen ion source, but both (everything) are related in the basic components.
This page is going to serve as my repository for thoughts on energy, specific - abstract - whatever.
We have yet to make the device that can harvest energy as efficiently as cells. These devices will be economical and their use would reduce air pollution and generate electricity.
The production of energy will require basic elements just as cellular respiration will require Oxygen for respiration and plants require Nitrogen in photosynthesis.
using cheap devices that reduce production costs, harvest energy, and remove pollution from the environment.

Use the big ball of incandescent gas || plasma || our sun || gigantic nuclear furnace
Without the sun, without a doubt, there'd be no you and me. hot (millions of degrees), large (middle sized star could fit 1million earths inside), far away (93,000,000 miles away).
here we are on sunny Earth; miles of free energy rains down, I need to wear sunscreen or I will get burnt. That's whats what.
