On this leaky base under flyover skies the greens and not so greens brightly, yet so dimly, propose "sustainable" aviation fuels, to further lock in such inane land use ... until all the many ways this system is unsustainable are proven, not by reason but by failure. But not until after more costs and coercion (CO2 pipelines!) are suffered by those living under flyover skies. "For ours is an age of loss disguised as plenty" (Nathaniel Popkin)

Great work, Chris. Our ag nitrate issues in WA are more groundwater.

If one were to build a factory in a rural area, and one were to have plating, parts wash, or any of a dozen other processes, and did what the corn/bean/CAFO mafia do in Iowa,which is run the effluent into the nearest waterway, you would be in handcuffs. But, when one has an entire Legislature and Governor in your employ? Fuggedaboudit
