The Primary Energy Fallacy is the idea that all primary energy from fossil fuels must be replaced with equivalent amount of clean energy.

BUT: Not necessary because >2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat.

Electrification+renewables are far more efficient.

I reckon a few more mergers would be good. Are there any significant downsides ?

Where does the cranberry sauce comes be from? It was fun to visit a cranberry bog at U mass Amherst with Scott Soby. They are grown in peat bogs which when flooded cause the berries to float so they can be mechanically harvested. This is their fruit sorter.

Is anyone testing herbicide tolerant crops to help remove invasive weeds from natural environments? Spray weeds, sow with ht crop, remove filled heads, sow with native species. Crop would also remove n p and k.
