Not burning forests, hydrocarbon trash. Convert trash to Syngas, catalyze into oil products. Produce 50% oil by mass. Nazi Germany fueled their war machine with this during the war when we cut off their oil supplies.
The soil needs the compost.

Then they were mining topsoil. They also converted coal to fuel. Seriously, this is a matter of mass flow in carbon cycling. You just can't add that much additional demand for carbon from the soil and not pay for it at the source. We're having enough trouble trying to feed a hungry world. What with China destroying their soil the demands will increase. We have PLENTY of geochemical oil and gas. Why add to the demand from soil?
