"However, to substitute America’s weekly oil consumption of 143 million barrels, you would need a facility that covered about 205 square miles, an area roughly the size of Chicago."

Well, I was wondering what we should do with Chicago. So how many cities around Chicago size would we need for the waste pyramid?

How much agricultural waste do they need in one week to feed the "1000-litre fermenting machine" to produce "one barrel a week?"

Yeah, a wall and a border patrol will protect us. {sound of laughter}
