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.
