In looking into photosythesis, I have had an interesting thought.  It is a 
multistep process.  In the first step a photon of light hits the chlorophyl 
which grabs a water molecule and seperates it into hydrogen and oxygen.  The 
molecule then seperates a CO2 molecule into carbon a oxygen.  It then combines the 
carbon with the hydrogen to form hydrocarbons and releases the oxygen.  I have 
wondered if it would be possible to halt the reaction with the seperation of 
water into hydrogen and oxygen, and produce hydrogen and oxygen rather than 
HC's and oxygen.  Perhaps more knowlegable minds could chime in.

PS In thinking that the NEEDS of the world would not be met without fossil 
fuels is ridiculous.  The needs of the world were met for millenia without them 
and will certainly be met after they are gone.  Fossil fuels do not meet 
needs, they facilitate desires, and will only do so for an extremely brief period 
of human history.  They were originally used for fuel because they were a 
nuisance ruining potentil farmland.  Energy from fossil fuels has been extremely 
cheap, cheaper than any other energy source in human history.  Rudolf Diesel 
stated that he thought it was an important aspect of his diesel engine that it 
could be run on various biofuels.  He said that it didn't matter at that time, 
but might be important in the future.  Incredible vision.
