    You really need to argue don’t you?

    This problem you are stuck on isn’t actually a problem. Why? Because of how much more efficient it is. No one is saying that one vertical farm will feed the entire country. We will still have local farms, home gardens, etc. This is the future of growing food both produce now and meat in the coming decades.

    Yes, the solar panels only convert like 18% of the incoming light, but, again, $ for $ growing things with solar and aero/hydro is way way cheaper than dirt, relying on the sun, seasons, etc.

    Seriously. Maybe stop focusing on what you think is wrong and work to improve things.

    Vertical farming is the only way we will feed people in the coming decades.
