Surely land without water is not considered arable? So if the
oft-quoted
19% of US land is really arable, that 10-15% number can't be right.
===============
You are right. I used 127 gal/acre of sunflower oil, which is more than
55 gal/acre for soybeans. Even with that factor, land needed for 24
quadrillion BTUs (all trans needs, gas and diesel) was 3 or 4 times the
19% arable sq miles avail. So I guess the best we could do was 25-30%
if we stopped growing food. Fat chance huh?
