Hydrocarbons are simple compounds that help fuel the modern world, but they're not really a sustainable resource. Explore new energy solutions, starting with biohydrocarbons, in this podcast from HowStuffWorks.com.
Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating world of biohydrocarbons - essentially plant-based alternatives to petroleum fuels that could help solve our energy crisis. They explore everything from cellulosic ethanol made from plant waste to camelina crops that could revolutionize farming, and even discuss an amazing fungus discovered in Patagonia that naturally produces diesel fuel. It's a surprisingly engaging look at the race to develop cleaner, more efficient fuels and the various scientific breakthroughs that might just save us from running out of oil.
