David,
May I presume...what book are you reading these ideas from?
I haven't read such things and would like to research them myself.
While lower vibrational life forms do have electrical fields, I find it difficult to believe one tree source or small amount of algae could supply energy sufficiently.
I've been known to be wrong before and I am always open to new insight and exploration. I'd like to look at the data and the experiements more thouroughly. Would you please post the link or the book reference.
None of my current energy or tree books contain such information.
Tree climber by nature! Hmmmm...what a buzz!
Love and Light,
