Europe without Russia and the Ukraine cannot grow enough coarse grains.

Europe, just as the US and Japan, is living beyond its ecofootprint ~ importing fossil fuels to convert to fertilizer to boost cereal grain production is an input that needs replacing, hence the interest in solid state ammonia production technologies to produce ammonia from renewable power sources.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
