yea, above comment is very confusing…americans and their egocentrism …
americans ship goods from the west to the east cost through the panama canal ? you serious ?
US bound, from … China for instance ? want to run an elecrtified train from China to the US ?
it can’t be more efficient than this: airlines and coal have ruined the canal for everyone. maritime and rail shipping are very efficient.
because vertical farming is a hoax. best u could do is practice hydroponic farming: save about 90% of water usage. Otherwise farm footprint is farm footprint (plants need sufficient sunlight). plant LEDs consume 200w/m² for lighting, solar panel produce 200w/m² of electricity from sunshine. Leds/solar panels aren’t efficient enough to allow vertical farming, its just (un)feasible under sunlight farming with extra steps
