Maybe instead of diamonds, the trees could grow something more useful—like carbon nano-tubes. Or spaghetti.

Which post was that in? Did I miss it? If it's a general question; I'd have to know which side *your* children stand on to answer.
If I seem grumpy it's because I think people should live in (bio-mimicing, hoemostatic) plastic bubbles that don't need ongoing energy input. Then 'heat or eat' is moot. In fact the plastic bubble could feed you, too. Witness the
Oak Gall.
