Mass agriculture and pesticides.

  There was an article four days ago about 12 million hectares to grow corn for fuel and that energy from solar is 30x more efficient. Maybe they could make a few million of that nature reserve and put solar on other parts? (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47868063 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47868063)

    Growing corn for fuel only makes sense due to government subsidies, achieved through lobbying. Otherwise, it is a stupid and wasteful idea.
