Thanks for the thorough answer. My parents visited a tomato farm an hour or two from Willcox, AZ (not far from Tucson) -- hydroponics I think and all indoors. They burn NG to keep the place warm in the winter and pump all the CO2 into the greenhouses in order to feed them. For most of the year, they have to bring in the CO2. Still... just a tiny dent overall. In the big scheme of things (the next 10000 years) the carbon emission energy will be but a blip. So by my way of thinkin' let's save that stuff for pharmaceuticals and mass transit (e.g. jet fuel) and plastics and get going on the solar & derivatives.
