Once I figured up how much corn it would take to heat average 1500-2000 sq ft home during a typical central US area winter. Came to about 3 acres give or take a half. Add to that the amount needed to create feed for keeping some chickens, which also free range or due to too many hawks, adjusted range in moveable protected covers. Anyway, with full family moderate labor, about 10 acres is all a family needs to self subsist if the land and house is already paid for. There may be some place with figures which give a more accurate assessment on minimalist living, or maybe observation of Amish would give an idea.
I think so. Maybe then they could give posthumously to the woman who helped save all those children from the Nazis, the one who should have received it at the time. Hey, maybe Al Gore could end up with some jail time for fraud? Subversive activities? Nah, that would be too perfect, LOL.

SEN. JAMES INHOFE R-OKLA.: Well, we have not heard anything from Al Gore, Neil. And I don?t anticipate that we will, but we would like to have him come, hold a hearing in Environment and Public Works.
Every assertion that he made in his science fiction movie has now been disproven, sea level rising, Himalayas melting and all this stuff. The significant thing right now, though, is the hearing that we had this morning, because we have the minority report that we put together which shows that climate-gate, fixing the science, cooking the science, actually took place.
We have it all documented. And people are being investigated right now. The inspector general for the EPA, for NASA, for NOAA, for all these different groups to do their own investigation. Then we send that to the Justice Department. That?s happening, by the way, in the U.K... found that violations... is a criminal offense. Unfortunately, in Great Britain, the statute of limitations has already run. Well, that could be the case here, in which case it would be a criminal violation.

Donald Trump wants the Nobel Committee to strip former Vice President Al Gore of his Nobel Peace Prize.
The New York Post reports that the billionaire told a country club crowd of 500,:
"With the coldest winter ever recorded, with snow setting record levels up and down the coast, the Nobel committee should take the Nobel Prize back from Al Gore."..."Gore wants us to clean up our factories... when China and other countries couldn't care less... China, Japan and India are laughing at America's stupidity."

Donald Trump is not a big believer in global warming. "With the coldest winter ever recorded, with snow setting record levels up and down the coast, the Nobel committee should take the Nobel Prize back from Al Gore," the tycoon told members of his Trump National Golf Club in Westchester in a recent speech. "Gore wants us to clean up our factories and plants in order to protect us from global warming, when China and other countries couldn't care less. It would make us totally noncompetitive in the manufacturing world, and China, Japan and India are laughing at America's stupidity." The crowd of 500 stood up and cheered.
