  1. But then it was supposed to be a very much, you know, very quick war. Right. And if you remember the tanks going up the highway right into Kyiv, had the general, who was obviously not a very good general, not made a right turn into farmland, which was soaked and soaking wet from the heaviest rain in 10 years, they say. He went right up into the mud and it was like quicksand and those tanks. So they got, I guess, I don't know if you call it lucky or not lucky, frankly, because it's been 5 years and Ukraine has lost a tremendous, you know, Ukraine has lost so many of its men. Number one, had they not taken the right turn onto dirt instead of going up a concrete highway, it would have ended in one day.

  2. It's tricky though, right? Because would, for example, farmland be considered under conservation?

  3. Like regular farmland? No. I didn't expect you to answer that. That seems kind of high. I got to think outside of the United States, of course. Like there could be like, you know, is the Amazon under conservation and how large is it? And, you know, and how many places around the Earth would do that? 37% sounds like a lot of land, but I do think it's science. I really do. I think that's the surprise here, that that is correct. So I would say that number 2 is incorrect for some detail.

  4. So first of all, the previous estimate was 18%. And this new study, you know, significantly increases it. But the difference was that the estimate of 18% was for officially nationally registered conservation areas. The new study included other areas that might be like under local government conservation where they've been substantially expanded the net as it actually 27% of the Earth's surface is under some, that's why some type of conservation. And this is not farmland, this is for with the express reason of preserving biodiversity loss, preserving biodiversity. Now the goal, there's an international agreement that I think most nations have signed onto to get to at least 30% by 2030. '30.

  5. And so that's, if you're talking about how much bang you get for the buck, like how much biomass you can create on an acre of land, bamboo kicks ass and it would be much better than corn. Like right now, like in the US, we use corn for biofuel. That has one limiting factor is that we're using farmland, you know, that we could be using to grow food.

  6. And it needs farmland.
    Jay Novella · The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe · The Skeptics Guide #1110 - Oct 17 2026 · 2026-10-17
  7. You're saying, right? Yeah. Yeah. You, you know, corn needs farmland to grow, but bamboo, we could grow on land. That's not good enough. It's not, it's marginal for it. We couldn't use it to grow crops. It's more viable in that way. And just the bamboo itself turns out to be an excellent feedstock for, for biofuel. It's very efficient in terms of the energy that you get per, per unit. And it has, would have less waste, et cetera. It's got good features. And I said, but, and you could do it cost-effectively. And they estimated in this study, that you could produce biofuel from bamboo for like $2.75 a gallon, which is, you know, is pretty, is pretty good.

  8. bamboo? A 30-mile supply radius, which is not a lot looking at farmland. But this would be, if you did the, I did the calculation, if you used 50% of available marginal agricultural land in the US, you would make maybe 5% of our demand for transportation fuel, not 50%. Oh,

  9. But if we electrify our car fleet and our small truck fleet or whatever, but we're still left with some big backhoes or whatever, big machinery that we just cannot run off of batteries, you have to burn fuel, then biodiesel could fill that last 5% or whatever that close that gap. That's really what it's for. In the meantime, time, you know, it's chipping away at best as maybe it's better than nothing, but it's, you know, it's never— it's not going to be the answer, right? Especially if we have to use farmland to grow the feedstock. Ideally, you want the feedstock to be waste stuff that we would throw away anyway, or something that you can harvest from non-agricultural land, right? So it's not displacing crops. All right. That means that a 75-year-old Neanderthal fossil shows the first evidence evidence of a— of death by wooden spear is science.

  10. Now, Schmidt grew up in a town called Groningen, I believe it's pronounced, in the north of the Netherlands. And in 1963, the same year that he's sitting looking at this quasar, the— there was a natural gas discovery in fields near the farmlands outside of where he grew up. And the Dutch got very rich from this. It was a huge find. The guilder went up, money and workers poured toward the gas. Everything else that the Dutch made got more expensive abroad and the Dutch manufacturing just kept shrinking at that point. Uh, in 1977, The Economist gave this, this whole thing a name, called it the Dutch disease. And of course, you know, it's named by the British, uh, but Dutch disease describes a booming sector that makes the headline numbers all look better while it starves every— it starves everything else around it.

  11. But it's going to be direct investment coming into equities from the US government. And I think this is the thing people are least thinking about and least prepared for. The incentives drive those outcomes. And the truth is the incentives are pointing in such a way that there is no way out other than print money, buy stocks. And as you know, Japan did this for 15 years. This will not be the first time in history for this to happen. I'd love to hear any last thoughts. And this is why I agree with your asset allocation. You have to own gold, you have to own farmland, you have to try and have debt on your real estate. You know that you want to have the same position broadly that the government has. The greatest irony is most people think that a mortgage is a risk, it's leverage, like I need less leverage, but the greatest risk of all might be not being levered enough. Um, I'd love to hear your thoughts, the final thoughts there related to—

  12. You also make the point in your story about kind of some of the other forces hitting the wine market, including water and droughts. But also and the declining taste for wine, I guess. But, you know, it seems like there's a lot of pressure on that land. That's expensive land, that farmland. And you make the point that vineyards are being kind of taken out as well. Is that part of the story, do you think? Is agave going to step in for all of this land or, or other things?
