Energy is a Biological Need of Humans..

Humans Special Heterotrophs

• The humans are extrasomatic heterotrophs.
• The ability to use energy extrasomatically
  enables human beings to use far more energy than
  any other heterotroph that has ever evolved.
• The human population modified more and more of
  its environment by using extrasomatic energy to
  suit human needs.
• The world's present population of over 5.5
  billion is sustained and continues to grow
  through the use of extrasomatic energy.
• The human race expanded its resource base so that
  for long periods it has exceeded contemporary
  requirements.

The Great Thought Experiment

• As an English army officer, Thomas Savery was
  once ejected from the Lord of the Admiralty's
  office as a lunatic because he proposed a ship
  that could be propelled by side-mounted wheels
  rather than by wind or oars.
• He exhibited great fondness for mechanics, and
  for mathematicians natural philosophy and gave
  much time to experimenting, to the contriving of
  various kinds of apparatus, and to invention.

Basic Truth of Energy Resources !!!

• Only energy income to earth is Solar Energy.
• Solar energy is a direct renewable source.
• Solar Energy Is available everywhere.
• A single Reason for All that Happens on Earth !!!
• Matter recycles with solar energy.
• Conservation of Species No income of species to
  earth.
• Creates other forms of energy reservoirs, which
  possess energy in the matter.

Taittiriya Upanishad

• All beings that exists on earth are being born of
  food.
• Thereafter they live by food. Again ultimately
  they go back to it and merge to become food.
• So verily food is the eldest of all creatures.
• On that basis food is called the medicine
  (aushadham ucchyate sarvam) of all.
• That which is in man is also in the sun.
• In modern civilization food is also a fuel
  (Indanam ucchyate sarvam) of all.

The flow of energy from a source to a sink
through an intermediate system orders that
system.
The Earth A System to Create Usable Forms of
Energy Sources

• Morowitz 1992

The Solar Energy Mother of All the Energy
Sources

• Every entity of newly formed source of energy is
  a form of solar energy.
• Matter based Energy Sources A Time Scaled
  creations by Solar Energy.
• These are the Permanent Resources of the Planet.
• However, Solar Energy is only primary source
  available every where in our solar system.
• Creates more forms of Energy by recycling the
  matter.
