"The demand for their products is so great that Haber-Bosch plants today consume 1 percent of all the energy on earth, and the largest factories produce so much ammonia that it has to be transported in pipelines (one of the first ammonia pipelines in the United States, built in the late 1960s, for instance, runs from the plant in Texas to the corn fields of Iowa). This huge, almost invisible industry is feeding the world. Without these plants, somewhere between two billion and three billion people-about 40 percent of the world's population-would starve to death."
