      Great question! Energy generated by hydrocarbons like coal and oil.

      de-invent – hmmm that’s a hard one.

      I guess something like the atom bomb, but then someone else would possibly work out how to make it and it would fall into the wrong hands so that would be worse.

      I guess it would be nice if we could “de-invent” explosives, as they have killed and injured a lot of people over the years – but they have also allowed us to dig huge, deep quarries and mines etc., so there would always be a negative to anything you “de-invent” I guess.

      How about de-inventing the Vuvuzela?!
