Use photosynthesis to capture solar energy and store solar energy with starch and oil.
Then it's easy to distribute.
When nature does something different to us, we may miss something.
From this perspective, the challenge we face is to find out how to use plant chemistry effectively to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels while not letting people starve.
For 10 years, it would be a pity to waste £ 15 billion a year on the wrong track.
