More insight in the use of thermodynamics and entropy is important to preserve our planet for future generations. We discuss how it may help improve the efficiency of current energy conversion technologies, suggest ways to harness solar energy and develop engines that can generate sustainable carbon‐free energy, and help understand how life and the universe are based on the Laws of Physics.
