Now if only there were a way to make ammonia using wind power ...

Work on this is underway at the University of Minnesota:

MORRIS, MN, July 5, 2006- A project to convert wind energy into hydrogen that can be used for anhydrous ammonia fertilizer is underway at the University of Minnesota West Central Research and Outreach Center (WCROC). The project aims to provide a renewable alternative that can be locally produced to part of $300 million of anhydrous ammonia derived from fossil fuels currently used as nitrogen fertilizer in Minnesota agriculture.

“Of all races in an advanced stage of civilization, the American is the least accessible to long views… Always and everywhere in a hurry to get rich, he does not give a thought to remote consequences; he sees only present advantages… He does not remember, he does not feel, he lives in a materialist dream.”

—Moiseide Ostrogorski (1902, 302-303)
