Purple Delta 7 on Electricity
Jonathan Flow had been troubled lately. He had realized more and more over the years that electricity though wonderful was something that wasn't unlimited and that humans were paying a price for the use of it. That many governments covered up this price didn't mean that humans weren't still paying the price.
And what was that price? Increased percentages of infertility and sterility of all species of life on earth. Humans could still compensate for this with medical interventions and fertility drugs but most other creatures were just slowly dying off and going extinct one by one. And with each extinction the hope of future humans on earth was slowly dying.
So, one day he decided to ask Purple Delta 7 about this. She constantly studied and retained information from all electronic media on earth and throughout the galaxy as this was a part of her job: the access, cross referencing and categorizing and synthesizing of all information relevant to her present assignment. Her present assignment was the protection of himself who was considered Galactic Soul Royalty in the greater scheme of things. Jonathan really didn't know what to do with that information other than to be grateful that he was being protected from physical harm 24 hours a day.
Anyway, Jonathan knew that Purple Delta 7 was presently the most complete reference source for planet earth and the solar system that he was presently aware of. So asking her about the Ramifications of Electricity on the Humans and other creatures of earth just might be useful.
So, Jonathan went down into his garage where Purple Delta 7 was presently pretending to be his Kawasaki klr 650 motorcycle and her companion, the Sargent, was presently the electricity in the battery and ignition system of the bike.
As he began to ask Purple Delta 7 about electricity he realized that he also needed to ask the Sargent as he was a plasma star being who likely understood what electricity was more than Purple. Because he WAS electricity whereas Purple used electricity in her circuits just like people used electricity to operate their neurons and muscles and to digest food. And the food people ate was converted to a form to create the electricity that their bodies ran on. Even though humans functioned at a much lower voltage than other types of electrical conveyances including Purple and the Sargent, still all humans needed to generate electricity through eating food and getting sun on their skins in order to survive one more second or one more day.
So as Jonathan Flow entered his garage he felt the presence of Purple and the Sargent. They knew he was there to speak with them.
Jonathan said, "Hi guys. I have a question for you."
Purple said, "You understand I can constantly read your mind."
Jonathan said, "Yes. But it is uncomfortable for me to admit it."
Purple said, "Okay. Do you want to ask me the question or do you want me to guess?"
Jonathan said, "In the interest of time I would like both your points of view in regard to this."
Purple and the Sargent said together "Okay."
The Sargent said, "In deference to your earth forms of politeness and the fact that Purple Delta 7 considers herself a female here I would like her to begin."
Jonathan said, "Of course."
Purple began, "Electricity is a lot of things. As you were thinking it runs human bodies and the bodies of all animals and birds and fish and insects on earth. Nothing could move its muscles without it. So in this sense it is a universal thing for living moving beings. Even plants use electricity in that they convert solar photon energy into chlorophyll."
Here is a quote from the Internet:"Chlorophyll is actually responsible for the green pigmentation in plants. What does chlorophyll do? Chlorophyll is what absorbs energy from the sun to facilitate photosynthesis in plants. Chlorophyll to plants is like blood to humans. It is important in many plant metabolic functions such as growth and respiration.
Interestingly, chlorophyll is chemically similar in composition to that of human blood, except that the central atom in chlorophyll is magnesium, while iron is central in human blood. This, and the fact that chlorophyll is central in plant metabolism, had prompted scientists to find out if chlorophyll can offer similar benefits to humans. A number of chlorophyll researches have been focused on finding out the potential chlorophyll health benefits in humans." end quote from the following site.

Purple went on, "So when people developed solar cells to convert solar power to electricity they likely looked at photosynthesis which is the basis of all life on earth and since photosynthesis creates chlorophyll which is what plants blood is and since all animal life subsists at some level on that chlorophyll, solar energy cells that convert photons to electricity and photosynthesis that converts solar energy to chlorophyll are in some ways much the same thing and much the same process and if looked at properly both sustain life on earth in their own ways."
At this point Jonathan heard the Sargent's voice.
The Sargent said, "Since I am a plasma being and grew up in the sun I understand a lot about electricity. Though plasma beings see the neurons and muscles being run by electricity and how humans convert their food into electricity that is based upon sunlight turning into chlorophyll and from that chlorophyll all living moving things on earth result, we cannot really relate to the solidity of things as all things in our world are fluid and give us a sense of freedom. To be permanently trapped in physical solid forms would be unthinkable for us. However, some like me, do so to a degree to learn more about other species so we can return to our plasma forms in stars one day and share our knowledge about what it is to associate with beings in more solid less permeable forms."
Jonathan said, "I had never really thought about that before, Sargent."
Sargent said, "Well. That's because you haven't had to deal with the contrast every day like I have."
Jonathan said, "Yes. I suppose that's true."
The Sargent said, "So, basically what I have to say is that humans will either evolve into another form or they will have to stop generating electricity by breaking the magnetic fields of magnets. Otherwise they will go extinct within 500 to 1000 years."
Jonathan felt sick and said, "Isn't there another alternative?"
The Sargent said, "Well. I suppose they could move underground. Since the temperature most places underground more than about 6 feet deep is likely around 60 degrees plus or minus Fahrenheit, the amount of heating or cooling needed would drop dramatically worldwide. I would say a great deal of electricity generated by breaking the magnetic fields of magnets is dedicated to refrigerating food, refrigerating homes, businesses etc. or heating homes, and businesses or whatever. With all this underground as much as half or more of all generated electricity or more would no longer be needed and the human race would have more time to adapt to these new conditions if they chose to instead of going extinct."
