@nxdefiant@dragontamer clearing forest land for agriculture to feed ever increasing population does seems the baseline solution but then the argument pops up … isn’t knowledge of agriculture by we humans responsible for climate change and all the misery the human race is in?
Pretty much. We have scientists looking into high density, multi level automated hydroponic crop production in order to stop relying on having enough sky and land for food. Using more land for biomass to produce fuel feels willfully evil at this point.
@nxdefiant yes true, hydroponics will eventually in the long run, will become a profitable and sustainable cultivation technology if done using recycled raw materials and renewable energy sources. Which in the third world countries is nearly impossible. Such as Asia and Africa where the population is huge and illiterate.
All the more reason we should convert land back to native Switchgrass. A native plant that grew from Nevada to Maine that the pioneers / pilgrims saw 500+ years ago. Converting our harmful farmlands back into more natural-looking grasslands is going to improve our environment and ecology.
That’s what makes this entire discussion so hilarious. I’m advocating for native plant species of this continent, and yall environmentalists are shitting on the idea. Because modern environmentalists are braindead and don’t even think about the natural state of our country, its plantlife or other effects.
That’s fine. So I’m just pointing out: switchgrass is an incredibly eco-friendly way forward. Even if we don’t use it for biofuel, its already being used to restore marshlands and other areas. Switchgrass also has a carbon-capture profile similar to trees (!!!), outperforming many other plants in terms of CO2 capture. One way or the other, the people who know better are planting switchgrass and improving our ecology, even if yall can’t get behind the idea.
