The Solar Source of all Sustenance

Religions from the dawn of recorded history wor****ped the sun. Solar
energy is the source of all life. Petrochemicals are created from
solar energy banked millions of years ago from plants that captured
sunlight and photosynthesized useful carbohydrates. Plants died in
oxygen-depleted water where they couldn=92t decay, for lack of oxygen,
and were eventually absorbed into the earth=92s crust where over a long
period of time the pressure and temperature transformed them into
crude oil and natural gas. When you burn a piece of wood in the
fireplace, you=92re releasing solar energy stored by the tree. Our
varied diets are basically made up of solar energy stored in a variety
of forms =96 meat, vegetables, candy bars and fruit juice =96 by plants
and animals who originally ac***ulated that energy for their own use.
The energy in oil, like the energy in corn, like the energy in Chicken
McNuggets, like the energy in coal, originated in the sun.
And the sun keeps ****ning, showering the earth with useful energy. All
living things benefit.
