Canada’s Rare Earths Could Crush China’s Dominance with Lawrence Solomon
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This had to be said and someone has now said it. Let me explain something about Canada's geological potential to those who do not understand. The Northern half of Canada happens to be an exposed Continental Craton we call the Precambrian sheild. The rest of the world has small windows on these types of rocks. This includes Africa and Australia t say nothing of Russia and China. When Canadians figured out how to hunt for diamonds, a string of discoveries brought the DE Beers monopoly crashing down with excellent quality stones as well. For every operating mine we have fifty or...
Watch: Flying-Robo Harvester Picks Ripe Fruit, Set To Displace Humans

.This takes it up a notch. It is also the solution for soft small fruit as well. Once you are down to a two pound weight scale, then it is down to a manipilator arm and a specific tool. All this can be nicely engineered. The software aspects looks to now be well in hand. Thus a continous rotation of fruit ripening can be planned for rather easily. We may even be able to radishes as well along with all sorts of vegetables if desired. THe whole problem of raising all fruit and vegetables is in the picking. It is mental drudgery and it is brief employment. This way we can ...

Mexico to Ban Glyphosate, GM Corn Presidential Decree Comes Despite Intense Pressure from Industry, U.S. Authorities
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
The Monsanto Glyphosate ban is rather obvious when it has happened in other countries as well and will ultimately prevail globally. This is because a completely new pallette of soil husbandry protocols are emerging and is driven by persistent soil carbon collapse. Ultimately Glyphosate forces the farmer to mine the carbon in his soil while supplimenting hte failing nutrient base. This is a non sustainable plan. Banning GMO in Mexico is completely sensible to preserve the native corn genetic seed bank as completely as possible. A lot more needs to be encouraged inluding premium...
