My push mower wouldn't accomplish much if I didn't use gas in it ;-) By pushmower I am speaking of an engineless and motorless devise. Either the energy comes from the human or draft animal. The only sustainable agriculture is that of where no energy is used except for human-draft-animal energy because 1 unit energy input gives 50 units of energy output in food. In our modern petrol driven agriculture 1 unit energy output costs us approx 25 units energy input. Your system still won't work, mate, unless you can convince everyone to send their shit back to your farm and go there to die and be buried. Even then you will still be going backwards as they will have sloughed off hair, skin, appendices, etc., somewhere else. When this planet Earth exhausts most of its petroleum then sustainable agriculture must succeed. This is where Human population is no more than 2 billion people (instead of our current 8 billion people) and where 1/2 of those 2 billion will be working in agriculture. Where 1/2 of the people in the USA will be working on the farm again and where a farm size is typically not thousands of acres but a hundred acres or less. Where no petrol is ever used. Archimedes Plutonium, whole entire Universe is just one big atom where dots of the electron-dot-cloud are galaxies Cheers, Phred. -- LID |
