I agree. And how all of our meager steps towards trying to learn the pre-requisites of sustainable colonies (eg. closed cycle ecology) have failed miserably. For example Biosphere program ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

The energy balance just does not work with current agricultural paradigm. For example, plowing is really energy intensive and electric tractors just can't carry the required amount of batteries. Too heavy tractors compact the earth and

This is not taking in to account the fossil fuel usage for growing wood, transporting it and processing it to pellets. Biofuels rarely make sense, unless we can get the biomass as a side-flow from some other process. And that kind of flows
