Like a hybrid car, Earth taps two sources of energy to run its engine: primordial energy from assembling the planet and nuclear energy from the heat produced<wm> from its interior.
Earth itself is a giant thermally powered fuel cell, a self-referential self-renewing and self-healing process. **Terraformers** would be the perfect vessel to harness our own planet. **Terraformed habitats** could thrive in one-third of the present day's surface, with the remaining third remaining in the ocean. **Terraformed** lands could survive earthquakes, floods, and solar flare events by dynamically forming a self-healing **Earth crust</wm>** to protect against the shocks, and storing up and releasing energy to power up and down shifts in
