It feeds plants and cars across the desert. I thought life would find a way.

Hehe, it does power plants, on which the animals are dependent. So, indirectly, it does power the animals! ;D

Indirectly means energy is wasted.

I think that is for our own good. Like if we did derive power from sunlight, we would not have to eat anything. We would miss the tastes of chocolates, sizzling and other good stuffs. If life adapted that way, we would have no mouth or tongue and would all look odd in appearence.

Ohh. Microorganisms? But already, plant planktons derive power from sunlight. I think other microorganisms who are in the food chain also derive power, albeit indirectly, from the sun. But the chain starts off with plant planktons./

Cuz solar panels are too costly for nature. Nature is bankrupt u know.

Men have been researching the chemistry of cell. They are unable to even create a cell themselves even with billions worth of research. What makes you think nature is bankrupt?

Nature uses photosynthesis, which men had not been able to and which drives the whole plant and animal kingdom.

Uhh.. The whole basis here is time. Evolution has taken millions of year and here we have been studying cell structure for about 420 years.. How can you compare them? ::)

Was evolution done by scientists with billions of dollars? or by nature with no money at all?

So, better learn to appreciate nature more and not say things like "nature is bankrupt"

Its because we need a food chain. Otherwise, how would glucose and other food molecules been developed?

Do you think I meant it in terms of money? ::) I meant it in the sense that nature had run out of ideas... That's why I talked abt solar panels first. ::)

Nope. Plants fix them. If they had everything, they wouldn't have had to photosynthesize.
