The "photo" in photosynthesis means "photonic" but heat (IR) is also
photonic and heat has been totally neglected in your argument.
It has been over two years since photosynthesis experts from Arizona
State University found and documented photosynthesis taking place deep
within the Pacific Ocean. Other have claimed this same things for 20
years going back to Cousteau, but DNA analysis was not available then.
The team isolated a bacterium that doesn't live off sunlight but uses IR
coming from hydrothermal vents nearly 8000 ft deep vents off of
Mexico. Using DNA analysis the team classified the microbe as a member
of the green sulfur bacteria family. The fact that the organism is
obligate means it solely relies on photosynthesis to live. "This is
startling in the sense that you do not expect to find photosynthesis in
a region of the world that is so completely dark" ....
Coal fired power plants, as it turns out, emit lots of sulfur and other
ash which is toxic to humans by not to genetically engineered strains.
They also have copious amounts of excess heat.
Given the profit motive, and the need for such hybridized life-forms to
flourish on what was formerly considered as waste, does anyone really
doubt that this discovery has not already been put to use for
engineering genetically modified biota, producing biofuels?
