Well I'll be the first to say "thats on helluva windmill or solar panel" when you find a way to hook even a hundred horsepower tractor to it. And I'll be just as impressed when that hydrogen fuel cell gets up and running on a few 4WD's on everyone's farm. Especially if the first purchasers and trials are paid for by those calling loudest for radical change. Subsidies and using debt to finance that spending isn't sustainable; nor efficient; nor fair to the ones who are crippled later by that spending.
Watch our trading partners make fools of us on this popular fad of the week. And until there are full size prototypes that have the bugs worked out of them; the reports are best given more study and development before becoming overly excited about changeovers.
And while death and taxes are inevitable; I'll still be the last one calling for much of either one. Its all bad news.
But for now thats a long long way down the road; and until those internal combustion engines are paid for and their worth decreased to scrap metal; value it might be best to start to reduce fossil fuel consumption by limiting summerfallowing and diesel fuel intensive operations. Or Not.
It not in the cards to rely on riding ride bicycles on gravel roads; nor expect adequate public transit to even towns; let alone rural addresses
And for those truly interested in reducing their carbon footprint; minimizing mileage through the air; and recreational and holiday travel to show their leadership on the alleged looming global warming front.
There are some pretty obvious gross wastages of energy; and for decades I see not seen many of those wannabe "eco" types supporting minimizing those activities that obviously had special worth to themselves.
At least the topic has changed from the evils of glyphosate.
