如果說異屬攀蔓草能帶來建築革命，那異屬電能草就將重新定義電力。試想一下——不再需要笨重的銅線，取而代之的是如葉片般纖細，卻又如蜘蛛絲般強韌的植物。它能進行超遠距離的高壓輸電，還能將電能儲存在果實中，供人隨時採摘、獨立運輸。未來的能源網路不是「建造」出來的——而是「種」出來的。
羅伯特．莫瑞
英文原文
If scando advena will revolutionise construction, fulmen advena will redefine electricity. Imagine it - no more heavy copper cables, but a plant, delicate as a leaf, strong as spider silk, carrying high current across huge distances, and storing charges in fruit which can be picked and transported independently. The power networks of the future won't be built - they'll be grown.
