Avacados give a higher yield/acre then corn.

Unless the intent was to subsidize corn farmers, corn is about
the worst thing one could pick.

Bio diesel from seaweed...read an article an area the size of
Belgium would be sufficient to fuel all aircraft needs....

Well, that's discouraging since aircraft needs are a drop in the

Maybe, but we can run just about everything else on electricity...


You mean like trucks, trains, busses and farm and construction
equipment?


Electric trucks trains and busses have been around for ages. Farm
equipment? Why not?


LOCAL trucks, LOCAL trains, and LOCAL busses, but not those hauling
crap between cities, much less across the country.

Absent the invention of Mr. Fusion, there isn't going to be any
electric powered trucks hauling carrots from Fresno to Chicago.
