[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2218483, member: 196898"] In post '37 of this thrad I noted that there was not much interest in the severe pollution given out by cargo shipping and that there seemed o be no moves to reduce it. seems I was not 100% correct in that, Correct about the pollution, but there is hope on the horizon [URL]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51548361[/URL] However, getting enough ammonia may be a deterrent. Storing it is also a challenge. Especially since same fertilizer will be needed to feed the soyabean industry too. But they can use Glyphosate instead, I suppose? During the two world wars, there was a similar shortage of ammonia, and also of phosphorus which was urgently required for munitions and matches, They solved this by altering the plumbing in the gents in pubs, and collecting the water of life as it fell. This fulfilled all our needs, and we spent our pennies wisely. No doubt a similar scheme could be employed in light of the current emergency. However the projected 10 million diabetics in the uk may present a problem with the added glucose which was not a problem 60 years ago. [/QUOTE]
