It sounds like all three of us are entirely aware that making ammonia requires hydrogen which comes from natural gas which releases CO2.
That's why I said it was unfortunate that ammonia comes from fossil fuels in the first place.

No one argued with your comment about electrolysis because everyone learned about it in middle school and using renewable energy for it is incredibly obvious. For some calibration of the qualifications of your peers on this site -- I did my postdoc in chemical engineering studying, in part, ammonia synthesis.
