Flower power

Abstract: Plants release many strange and complex substances - such as terpenes, alkaloids and phenols - in response to attack, and Daedalus sees this as a splendid new source of herbal fuel. He proposes to enclose a plantation of shrubs or trees in a huge plastic-film greenhouse and to stimulate them to produce terpenes, which can then be extracted from the air.
