[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 8110623, member: 2119"] But we are where we are. Reliance on fossil fuel based N can’t be reduced overnight. We could move to more N fixing legumes in our diets maybe. We could use clover leys and livestock or bring back more sewage. It will all take time and during that time and thereafter we will still be competing with imports from countries with plentiful supplies of fossil based nitrate. Such a benign approach would probably also halve my personal income but my living costs keep rising. So how’s it going to pan out? Not sure I’m that willing to put on the hair shirt while others are still happy to burn 150 gallons of kero to go to a pee up in Ibiza or have 10 kids on benefits. That would make me a mug wouldn’t it? [/QUOTE]
