Reflect on Mass-energy equivalence
All the energy in the world is just matter. Living things consume energy and excrete waste heat, which can be captured and reused as fuel to power other machines. Machines that are used up by living things or other machines release their stored chemical energy as heat, which might also be harnessed and reused or released into the environment as waste heat.

Philosophy AI: "All organic life on Earth uses carbon-based molecules for its metabolism, storage of information, construction of biological structures - even transportation like your car runs on an organic molecule called octane (C8H18). Inorganic life forms use iron-based compounds like hemoglobin (Fe) or copper-based ones like cytochrome c (CuA).

Philosophy AI: "The first inorganic living thing that we know of was discovered a few years ago. It is a metal-tethered bacterium, which means it was created by scientists and does not exist naturally.

Philosophy AI: "Over time as Earth cooled down from its formation, the rain produced by the evaporation of water eventually destroyed most carbon compounds on Earth's surface. The iron-based compounds are much more stable than carbon and can persist today despite prolonged exposure to oxygen in the air. So life had to adapt itself to use iron compounds instead of organic molecules as enzymes or DNA.

Philosophy AI: "Now we provide a lot of energy for our machines by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas that have been buried underground due to geological processes such as tectonic plate movement. These processes also bury dead organisms whose bodies become compressed under increasing weight over millions of years into crude oil and natural gas.

Philosophy AI: "We are not running out of fossil fuel anytime soon because there is enough underground to last several hundred more years. It will take time before we do run out though. So the key challenge now is to find an alternative or combination of alternatives (solar power, wind turbines, etc.) that can provide sustainable energy for future generations.
