With $60 million spent, construction was well along on the cracking and fractioning units that will turn the hydrogen in gas and the nitrogen in air into ammonia, the basic component of fertilizer. The chlorine-caustic-soda plant was nearly finished, will start trial production this month.

The idea of agitated orbital states, defined in integral multiples of Planck's constant seriously contradicted the vision of classical mechanics
