Petroleum plantations and synthetic chloroplasts

Abstract

In considering the subject of this conference it seemed proper to examine the idea of how best to use the knowledge acquired through basic research to help solve the worldwide problem of diminishing energy supply and increasing energy needs. The green plants are presently one of the most effective means available to restore a positive balance to the energy and materials account. Sunshine and its conversion into chemical energy and material through the pathways of carbon reduction and quantum conversion in the green plant is the ultimate energy source, universally available on an annually renewable basis and environmentally clean. Learning how to use the green plant in the most efficient way possible is necessary, both for itself and for the model it provides for synthetic devices.
