TECHNOLOGY AND ENERGY TRANSFORMATION
Living things change matter and transform energy in many ways.
The nuclear energy from nuclear power plants is used to produce
energy. The sun's energy used to produce fossil fuels (coal, oil,
natural gas) are used to operate the internal combustion engine
for transportation and auto assembly lines, separate the electron
from its nuclei to generate an electrical current through wires
that supply our homes with electricity, drive the process of
photosynthesis--supplying chemical energy (food) for all living
things...
Energy transformations impact the treatment of human
disease...nuclear medicine, laser surgery...
