<< You seem exactly right on that to me. Whether it's fertilizer or plastic bags, it's a hell of a lot easier to ship solid materials than LNG. They don't evaporate, don't explode (unless you do a Texas City ammonium nitrate thing), don't spoil, are easy to package or ship in bulk. >>

But the problem is that they are heavy. Phosphate rock and Potash are expensive to ship and so is the finished fertilizer. Chemicals and maybe plastic bags may not have that disadvantage. So there are limits to the industrial destruction of NG.

Best to all,
