"This principle also applies on the timescale of time. A rice paddy provides a certain amount of energy if you eat the rice this year. If you don't eat it and let the rice rot in the soil, allowing it to settle for a million years and turn into petroleum and coal, how much could it become? The conversion rate would probably be frighteningly low. Maybe all that would remain would be an amount of oil the size of a single ear of rice."
"So, can fresh sunlight income really not shake sunlight savings? Is the output of Gasoline Bacteria really negligible? We can't jump to conclusions about this. We have
