Well, instead people started using diesel to produce crops. That's um, not a cycle that you can repeat forever, either. It takes a lot more energy to produce the crops than you extract from the sun growing them.

Is there a circuit of this somewhere, using machinery powered from fuel made from crops to plant, harvest and produce fuel? I know you can do it if you use humans or animals to do the planting (powering your humans and animals from the food). I thought combustion engines were too inefficient.
