What kind of weak-ass crops are you growing, and in what rich-ass soil? And don't say legumes, because everyone knows they don't need any extra nitrogen. ðY

Seriously though, nearly all of our agricultural land is on chemical life support. Even the neighbor's cattle pastures (because he's a dumbass who gave up clover/grass mix in favor of herbicides and nitrogen). Seriously, within reasonable limits, the minute amounts of nitrogen and mineral waste that livestock generate can only help, when properly dispersed on fields.

Comment How much "renewable energy" are we talking about h (Score 1) 151

They mention the fermentation reactor uses very little water, and air, and can run on renewable energy. They never mention _how much_ energy... Somehow, I doubt the final system will be any more environmentally friendly or energy efficient that grass-fed cattle. ðY(TM)

Obviously it has refrigerant properties. I would hazard a guess that since it boils at room temperature, it would make a great inorganic solvent for electonics/solar manufacture and other processes. Looks to be a lot safer than dichloromethane, if you're willing to flout international law.
