Juan Enriquez- Juan Enriquez wants to grow energy

http://www.ted.com/talks/juan_enriquez_wants_to_grow_energy.html

About this talk-- Juan Enriquez challenges our definition of bioenergy. Oil, coal, gas and other hydrocarbons are not chemical but biological products, based on plant matter -- and thus, growable. Our whole approach to fuel, he argues, needs to change (TED, 2007).

An interesting point in this talk>
Enriquez points out to the fact that our society is so desperate for energy that oil companies and other energy corporations are brutalizing our economies and environment in order to fulfill the demand. He then illustrates how bioenergy is a more elegant manner of extracting energy because it creates much greater "yields". He states that bioenergy might be the next step in the evolution of energy extraction, and stresses that its research is so important that fixed oil prices must be set as to stabilize the economy in order to generate economic resources to the development of the technology.
