The concept of using polar winds to produce ammonia and ice, making fuel and reducing albedo, should properly be credited to Dr. Homer Wang, a far ranging thinker who has been working to popularize the concept. He is the first cause behind the Stranded Wind Initiative - he took the time on the phone to school me up enough to get me moving, and for that I am very grateful.

Whoops - ice increases albedo, and that is what we want.
