Hmm. I forgot about the admixture into fossil fuels, good point. It makes me wonder if there really is no good alternate use for the byproducts, other than animal feed. Biodiesel is one possibility, although I’d have to research the economics of it at this point in technological development.
The top reply there is “it’s mixed”, which is fair. Some places you have farmers growing alfalfa on good food land, which I personally see. Other places you have livestock grazing on semidesert - there really is no obvious alternate use there, until we run short on actual desert to build solar in.
