@dsp fries it canola? oh you mean rapeseed....Why can't we call it rapeseed oil. LOL but no you will want perennial trees over annuals. Again olive trees have to be babied as they are not native and the food value is more then the biofuel returns as far as I would understand. A perfect solution exists for your problem keep researching.
@Lion bamboo to be gassifed and burned? It could also be burned for heat/steam.
...trees dude stick to trees. Bamboo has a shit ton of variety though I don't know of any fuel options for it. Coppiced and pollarding trees is good for fuel wood and gassification. Just need to get enough accarage into a multi year rotation that you are replenishing more then you are taking.
#repealthe21st
Give me one good reason why we shouldn't repeal the 21st amendment
(You can't)
Because we aren't prudes. Most of the group is okay with the occasional drink, just not alcoholism.
I was more looking for arguments on why it wouldn't be effective. In it's efficiency sure but also it's cutdown on degeneracy, drunk driving and sociopathy
If no one had alcohol, drunk driving, drunk interpersonal conflict and drunk promiscuity wouldn't occur
@Orchid what's the possibility of us all going dutch on a single giant piece of land?
and just splitting it up into even parcels?
well hmmm i dont like the idea of subdividing land and having individual ownership ...maybe as a first site but going forward that really wouldnt work...im not a communist but the land should be cheap enough that like you wouldnt mind not owning your own piece evenly divided like it would be basically paying admission instead of having sole control over your land ...fuk i sound like a commie i promise im not trying to
that sounds pretty communits lol. I have no interest in that kind of arrangment ^
well it might be a way for us to buy land in bulk, and then splitting it into lots
so we'd still have complete sole ownership of our own lots
we wouldn't be "sharing" the land
as for simply buying a large chunk of land and splitting it up, its certainly doable, but it depends on what you hope to accomplish with that strategy.
maybe have one area where we have a common park, etc.
i know its hard to describe, im just saying that there should be steward of the land where the vast majority of which will fall into
yeah it gets a little complicated
the strategy I like better is just going to a place that already has cheap land and decent infrastructure
why would that be beneficial to sole ownership?
and then encourage people to buy their own lots as time goes on
i dont see the purpose of running a community where everyone gets 10 acres instead of everyone getting 1 and basically sharing or using the 9 together
so we achieve a point of "saturation"
thats sounds like it would just create a lof of conflict
which is why it would be put into a trust of sorts with a steward of fiduciary duty
sounds like a terrible system with nothing to recommend it, private ownership has worked beautifully for Europeans for millenia
not saying its perfect but its better than subdividing large swaths of land into little pieces
why?
the king owned the land
and the peasants worked it
rented land is also privately owned
it could be like an HOA or covenant system
where we own the land, but we get together and set some standards and define use of common areas
like parks, etc.
that sounds like the best idea to me
or DNR land
I have nothing agains other people participating in that kind of system, but personally I have no interest in getting involved in something like that. I like having my own land
