NPK is the acronym for basic plant nutrients. Others might know better than me, but you have those three (nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium) for primary fertilizer nutrients. Of those P is mined (apatite) from rock ore and K is mined from rock ore or brine. Mining and ore process has energy inputs couple to oil price, granted. Nitrogen is ammonia via HB, predominately with nat gas feedstock.
Sometimes we get down these tangents and it derails from the core topic. This is terrible and unwelcome news.
