Ever heard of fertilizer made from, gasp, fossil fuels?

When in Korea I saw farmers growing crops on the same fields they had
been using for thousands of years.

What they used for fertilizer is being banned by the EPA forcing
agriculture people to buy fertilizer.  Human waste can also be used
but isn't in a lot of places.

So why is the US Gov paying for Ethanol production, changing food into

trying to be.........  Green ?


What does the Paris Agreement do ?

IT takes money away from feeding the poor, and pays companies for Solar 
Panels to give the poor, that only last for 30 years.


Time to answer up Wormley !
