All that's needed, apparently, is an energy source, some sort of carbon-based material and a bit of water.

FORBES: We've Got Company

Impressed by arguments that nuclear energy is a proven source of low-carbon power, and worried about the dependence on foreign fossil fuels caused by the decline of North Sea oil and gas, the government has been preparing the ground for a nuclear revival.

ECONOMIST: Nuclear power draws nearer as renewables retreat

Not everyone is convinced that wind-power is the most reliant route to clean, renewable carbon-free energy, and it is concerning that Britain is relying on a power source that must be backed up by more constant technologies such as nuclear, coal, or gas, because the wind blows inconsistently, as is its nature.

FORBES: Wind Power Efforts May Not Be Enough For U.K.

All life as we know it on Earth trades off a source of complex carbon molecules, such as amino acids - just as it needs water and energy.
