That's 1000 barrels/sq. mile. 1.5625/acre. That's only enough to be justifiable in places where you can't grow other stuff and not much fuel is being used anyway. That's probably why nobody is talking about it.

Keep the ideas coming, maybe the scientist will get lucky and stumble upon some alternative that is more cost effective than oil.

Plus, I understand the nut is posionous and requires certain skill for handling or something like that.
