Biotechonomy: Can We Grow Energy?

Energy Crop Today’s TED Talk is brought to us by Juan Enriquez, chair and CEO of Biotechonomy, and an authority on economics and the political impact of science. Enriquez proposes that we look at ‘growing energy’ by accelerating the biological processes that produce fuel crops. He believes increased agricultural productivity and energy production can be achieved by understanding the role biology plays in producing traditional fuel sources like coal and oil. He also argues that we should stop extracting energy with ‘brute force’ and start using biological science and technology to process crude fuel sources in a sustainable way. (more…)
