Put this thing in an under ground salt mine with a thorium reactor to supply power and you could survive a Dino-extinction event...

I think we should build a few underground cities, just in case.

Hmmmm. Maybe they pump extra See Uh Oh two in to enhance the food supply for the plants. You know, that evil pollutant.

I'll take my chances on the surface over the living death of being forced to live in a city.

In a previous life, I worked for one of GE's competitors in Japan which was growing lettuce from waste heat from demonstration combined cycle plant which we had on campus to show to prospective customers as well as provide our own power needs.

Every few days, each of the 5000 or so employees who worked at our campus would get a bag with 5-7 heads of lettuce to take home. It didn't taste half bad either, just a slightly more bitter flavor than traditional sun-grown lettuce.

I wondered then why it hadn't gone commercial yet.

I would too, but when it comes to preserving humanity in face of the unforeseen, diversifying the environments that humans live on/in is a great way to ensure one single event will not wipe out humanity.

They may have to be color coded if man is to survive.

Lettuce is great in a salad and lettuce plants are conducive to being grown this way, but what about other crops?

How about crops with better nutritional value?

I’d like to see beans, peas, wheat, rice, potatoes, corn, onions and cabbage grown this way before I would say it is an answer for humanity.

And no to veganism. If you can grow nutritious crops, feed them to chickens, pigs, cows and other tasty critters first.

“The facility is also bacteria-free . . .”

I have a bit of trouble with that statement.
