I particularly enjoy the way that you, instead of answering a given question, ignore it with an outrageous accusation!

I've spent the past couple of years on this forum trying to argue logically with you. All I get is a headache because you cherry-pick and straight out lie.

Not worth it Neb.

nitrogen doesn't come from fertilizers you are getting mixed up dude. Nitrogen comes from the atmosphere.
fertiliser is made from ammonia, which (shock horror) requires hydrogen. hydrogen comes from natural gas - an oil refinery by-product.

Haber process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Again, it's year 12 chemistry. Even Slidey knows this (except he doesn't, and he brings up inefficient, fringe industrial processes to try to prove a point. and then claims that medicine production doesn't need petrochemicals! what a tool! :rofl:)

there is only ever one way of doing things in science

new discoveries are never made

Yeah, that pretty much sums up Neb's central thesis.

Oh look, dry distillation. Oh look, urea. Oh look, destructive distillation.

None of these exist according to Neb.

I reckon the world as "we" know it, will end something like this for me anyway:

One particular day, I'll close my eyes for a moment and then I won't be able to open them. A wry smile will spread across my face and then I will feel nothing and become nothingness - the eternal sleep.

you can get hydrogen from electrolysis too...
obtaining energy through processes that use up more energy than they provide is FANTASTIC way to do business.

problem: less energy
problem: less fertiliser
solution: use more energy to get fertilier?

doesn't make sense. everyone knows this.

cool strawman dickwad. i don't deny they exist. i deny that your knowledge of chemistry exists - sure, but i don't deny that they exist. what i do deny is that they're alternatives to what we have now unless massive, sweeping, gaping changes are made. changes that would be the end to the world as we currently know it. changes involving a lot less people...

and urea?

Urea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

:rofl:

dude you've got no fucking clue.

thread program: slidey's previous "eureka" idea is disproved via wikipedia article -> slidey scans wikipedia for a new chemical process and forgets to look up the fact that the process comes from oil -> slidey's new idea is disproved -> etc etc etc
