Alcohol fuel

Hi: I was looking at all of the wind falls from my orange tree and I got to wondereing. What happens to the wind fall from orchards and citrus groves?
Wind fall fruit can not be sold for human consumption. Could that fruit be used to make alcohol fuel? Could the left overs from distillation be used as animal feed or fertilizer? Is this an over looked resource?
The photo is of a mine that is exempted from the Death Valley National Park.
There are places in Death Valley where you can not go. But, commerical interests can do this to the environment.
Most of the time when fruit falls to the ground the rats come and get it. Next come the snakes who eat the rats. So the question is ” who eats the snakes” ?
I thought the exempt land was all owned by Senator Feinstein’s husband, Richard Blum, who traded a bunch of desert land that he had to the government for prime development property. Somehow man is just like the snakes, the last guy in the food chain gets fat off the land.
It’s like you live in a different state than me Dave. You have the most astounding and sometimes confounding pictures.
Just the other day my sister was telling me about new farming techniques that maximize land usage and naturally get rid of pests without pesticide. I’m doing it justice, but the point was that people are creating more closed loop methods of living that have minimal impact and take advantage of abundant resources that we used to only think of as waste.
Thus I think you are onto something. If someone isn’t working on it already.
And count on Dan for the lesson of the day! :)
