Fertilizer from the Wind

Western Minnesota researchers are using wind energy to make hydrogen and converting it to “green ammonia” fertilizer. Minnesotans spend almost a billion dollars a year on anhydrous ammonia fertilizer that is made from fossil fuels.

Thinking like this is common sense ! quitting carbon fuel tomorrow doesn't! Pie in the sky ideologies will not move a country ahead. take Canada as an example. this type of thing would be an easier sell to the population of the area. Keep up the excellent work.

I've been hearing more of this idea (especially in areas without cheap fossil nat gas, e.g
Europe, etc) so makes sense to keep up the research as nat gas prices will obviously creep up over time . But also surplus (cheap) electrical production happens during the spring and fall when HVAC loads are lower, so a win-win find ways to store surplus renewable energy for other applications.
