Hrmm, I think this guy starts from a fundamentally flawed premise. The key distinction between organic and inorganic material is not its capacity for capturing and storing energy or dissipating heat. Things like replication/reproduction are also key ingredients that are not explained at all by his model. If anything, this model predicts that all matter in the early earth would have tended towards homogeneity, not towards life.
