When that idiot Norman Borlaug started touting his "Green Revolution" based on chemical fertilizer, it was immediately evident it would enrich chemical companies, enslave poor farmers to them, and destroy pest and disease-resistant cultivars developed across thousands of years.

Closer to home, chemical fertilizers ensured that even with more efficient engines, we need huge quantities of oil, which will keep us spending military and aid billions in the Middle East for decades.
