Disclaimer: all super conductive materials will draw ferromagnetic metals from stars. solar flares indicate how good systems are pulling metal and heavier elements from the sun. life wasn't an accident, it was a plan.
new source of biofuel, can be grown in rotation with wheat.
normally wheat farmers go 'wheat' fallow 'wheat' there aren't many commercial crops that can survive in the sometimes cold, dry environment wheat thrives in. but apparently, camelina, a plant from europe not only creates a crop for rotation with wheat, it increases wheat yields 15%! and yes this plant loves cold, needs no irrigation, little or no pesticides, etc, and because it replaces a 'fallow' season in sustainable wheat farming it doesn't compete with food like other biofuels.
oh yeah, and the oil is more cold resistant, than standard plant oils and is why the plant thrives in northern climates (like wheat growing regions in Europe and North America)
as a plus the mash remains(after making biodiesel) are high in omega 3's making it an ideal feedstock for animals.
