to add:
- 95%+ reduction in water usage
- no need for any pesticides because... boom no pests
- no need for any other treatments to reduce disease
- can be powered in any way
- does not need to have complex freight
Sure it doesn't "save space" if you make a ton of win/solar farms. Sure. But its not about saving space as much as solving a huge logistics problem, water problem, pesticide problem, and even the taste problem (food harvested recently will taste better than frozen food transported for weeks/months)
