New research shows renewables are more profitable than nuclear power
In a recent study, researchers from the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) questioned the planned development of new nuclear capacities in the energy strategies of the United States and certain Eur...

Paltering.
Corn and soy grown for the purpose of large animal feed exceeds the amount of cropland used directly for human consumption in areas where <20% of calories and protein come from red meat.
almost all soy (about 85%) is crushed for oil for human use. the vast majority of what's fed to animals is the industrial waste from that process.
only 7% is fed directly to animals.
i don't know the numbers for corn, but i do know that globally, about 2/3 of all crop calories go to people.
it's crazy how much i've learned about soybeans, and never bothered to look into the numbers on corn. you'll forgive me if i look for my own sources though.
HEY YOUR SOYBEAN FACT SHEET REFLECTS THE GLOBAL NUMBERS REALLY CLOSELY!

So almost all of it going to animal feed is somehow all of it being for human consumption?
Fuck off and stop trying to gaslight, shill.
what is fed to animals is the industrial waste from the oil processing. which is the comment i made that started your namecalling. i will accept an apology, but i will not tolerate any more insults.

Most of the revenue is the meal. Nobody would grow it for the oil.
Almost half of the oil is used for biodeisel. So even if it were exclusively for the oil (a lie) getting rid of 40% and getting rid of the meat would do more than green fertizer
Also all an attempt at distraction because humans could eat a plant grown there.
according to the fao, only 1/5 to 1/4 of the oil goes to industrial uses.
i think it's great that you cited a source that shows even as markets fluctuate over time, soybean oil punches far above its weight every year in the value of the crop.
humans DO eat the plants grown there.
i never even suggested it is grown exclusively for oil.
calling me a shill doesn't change the fact that 85% of all soy is crushed for oil
The oil is the byproduct, idiot.
While some of the crop is used directly, more than 85 percent is further processed through crushing into soybean meal and oil. Soybean meal is typically used as an animal feed for its protein content
The meal is the main revenue source and the reason it's grown.
meal is the majority of the weight of the soybean, but oil is about half the value of the soybean while only being 20% of the weight. they don't process soybeans in meal presses: it's processed in oil presses.
Wow. What an insightful comment.
Fuck off shill.
it speaks to what i've been saying this whole time, and your insult and derision does nothing to undermine the facts.
your inability to communicate without namecalling says a lot more about you than it does about what i'm saying.
Reactionary shills are always so fragile.
I'm quite capable of communicating without namecalling. But when I see a shill shilling, I point out the shilling.
this is just more namecalling.
almost no soy goes to cattle at all. calling me "paltering" while jumping from one segment of agriculture to another is just hypocritical rhetoric. try addressing the topic instead of characterizing me.
I said red meat. Pork and chicken need to go too, but that'snot as urgent.

i didn't see any allusion to any animal except cattle here. am i reading too quickly?
I didn't want to get into an argument with an imbecile about eggs. But here we are.
your insults don't change the text.
Fuck off shill. All of your lies have been dealt with already.
Now is the part where you shit on the board and declare victory.
none of your insults have disproven what i said, and all the sources you've cited support what i've been saying.
your posturing doesn't help your case. humbly accepting that you didn't know all the facts about soy (just as i am still learning about corn) would do wonders for your perception though.
