Coal is a fossil fuel.

When this happens, they're compressed under tons of pressure, and turned into carbon based fossil fuels

So if you take, say, natural gas, which is the most prevalent hydrocarbon source fuel, if you burn that in a modern

As you can probably tell from its name, carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

The clouds are mostly hydrocarbons.

Like professor Kanisawa,

The mycelium is producing enzymes peroxidases that break carbon hydrogen bonds.

The second way is like this.

Carbon dioxide is a gas that is produced every time a fuel such as coal, oil, or natural gas is burned.

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous substance formed by the incomplete combustion of carbon compounds.

If you look at carbon dioxide from burning tropical rainforest, or methane coming from cows and rice, or nitrous oxide from too many fertilizers, it turns out agriculture is 30 percent of the greenhouse gases going into the atmosphere from human activity.

The thread that links them all our addiction to carbon based fuels,

This isn't Volvos this is volcanoes.

What it turned out, that all that we are seeing, all this liquid, is made of hydrocarbon and ethane and methane, similar to what you put in your car.

Centuries of scientific thought and experimentation have established that the real elements, things like hydrogen, carbon, and iron, can be broken down into atoms.

We came back to our pile, it was covered with hundreds of pounds of oyster mushrooms, and the color changed to a light form.

What's a drug?

Now there's no question about it at all we will only solve the problem of replacing fossil fuels with technology.

Sounds like a conservative climate plan.

Let me tell you a little bit about this chemistry of oil.

It's chemically fueled.

Meanwhile, the human body consists of 65 oxygen, 18 carbon, 10 hydrogen, and 7 of various other elements including 0.002 of silicon.

Well, this moon is very similar to earth.

Let's say we converted all the vehicles in the United States to battery electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles or flex fuel vehicles run on E85.

We're looking to see if we can take captured CO2, which can easily be piped to sites, convert that CO2 back into fuel to drive this process.

We've talked about the soil erosion.

But in the meantime, for the next decade at least, the name of the game is hydrocarbons.

Without it, we'd be in serious trouble.

and food into people.

The only reason modern agriculture can get away with killing the life in the soil is through another use of fossil fuel.

Due to the shortages of such basic commodities as fuel, food and drinking water.

Linear take, make, waste.

We could generate hydrogen by splitting water and combining it with carbon harvested from CO2 in the atmosphere, making fuels like methanol, ammonia, and dimethyl ether, which could be a direct replacement for diesel fuels.

Inert nitrogen, high concentration of carbon dioxide crystals, methane...

Oh, well, actually they theoretically can separate the hydrogen from the oxygen and process that into providing fuel for manned space flights.

Then you could use more energy, and you could use more energy to accomplish things that you are not able to do right now.

So that's the carbon nucleus in the center and then you have the hydrogens, so that's our carbon right there.

I made a promise that the next time I would fly around the world, it would be with no fuel, independent from fossil energies, in order to be safe, not to be threatened by the fuel gauge.

We now rely on distant countries for basic necessities.

In fact, even if producing CO2 was good for the environment, given that we're going to run out of hydrocarbons, we need to find some sustainable means of operating.

Then we need to retool the car industry and do retraining, and shift the convergence of the energy and ag value chains to shift faster from hydrocarbons to carbohydrates, and get out of our own way in other ways.

And as you're looking at this system, if hydrocarbons are concentrated sunlight, then bioenergy works in a different way.

...no carbs and is fatfree?

It's an absurd idea.

This includes the production of electricity, the extraction of fossil fuels, and the manufacturing of all manner of goods, from microchips, to paper, to blimps.
