K-U-D-Z-U and any/all other now non-valuable common weeds (plants) are
where ingredients for needed
fuels oughta be derived, not human and animal feed stocks.
Easier preached by this semi insane poster than accomplished here in
the real world of dogs eating dogs, monopolistic patents often with
interminable legalistic disputations, and of course greedy, shameless
self-interests.
The state universities with their 19th century Morrilll Act (read
"socialistic") agriculture colleges and govt paid university botanists
should for international emergency reasons be better incentivized
(bonuses, whatever) to do the "impossible" that the OPECs, Aramcos,
EXXONs, Texacos, Shells, Chevrons ad nausea do not wanna actually be
too successful (if you sorta believe their "green" commercials, then
you're probably somewhat delusional like me).
The obvious:
Experiment & apply DNA tech, bio-tech, nano-technology (whatever the
h it is), and the traditional tried and true techniques.
Then EVERYBODY in the universe has access to the State's research.
If licensing fees are deemed effective and useful to make kudzu
lemonade, then license private companies.
I realize that this is how it works in the present to extents already.
It perhaps now needs to be done maximally, rather than appartently so
damned snail paced and helter-skelterly.
If it takes manpower labor (persons) and those many now empty
facilities/factories, then there are zillions of unemployed (and
eventually to be unemployed) plus beaucoup places to refine kudzu,
grass clippings, and everything. Anything organic has "energy" cells
which should be untapped to serve the needs of real people beginning
to starve because of tres cher corn derived fuel.
