by means of photosynthesis, and animals that ate these plants, gave rise
to the petroleum with which we are familiar, underground and under
high pressure, after a period of millions of years. Coal and natural gas
came into being in the same way. In short, the solar energy stored in
plants thanks to photosynthesis was placed at our disposal after millions
of years had passed.
Similarly, the energy you obtain from the food you eat is simply the
solar energy stored by plants. The energy you obtain from animal food-
stuffs is also the energy those animals obtained from plants. The source of
energy is always the Sun, and the system that makes this energy useable
by human beings is always photosynthesis. You cannot acquire the ener-
gy you possess by means of any system other than photosynthesis.
Plants, and animals that feed on plants, are
exposed to high pressure after dying and
being buried. This leads to the formation of
exceedingly important natural resources
such as petroleum, coal and natural gas.
