Sad for the workers. Unfortunately it was a massively overhyped technology that was always at the mercy of electricity costs.
This shit is irritating. „Failed to attract new investors.“
What’s the point in having a government if it won’t step in and assist us dealing with this whole thing where there are fucking billions of us, and we all need food and shelter, and the problem will only get worse? Jesus Christ. It’s like watching someone taze their own balls.
So fucking stupid.
This is where we just fail Government and Business are good at different things, if it’s fundamental stuff that needs R&D and losts of initial investment and time Business just won’t touch it as it has to be so large to absorb the costs. The government needs to step up here, once things get more established businesses can come in and attract more private money to expand it This has been an increasing trend over time because the things we do and build just are more advanced now and require more than just a smart person in a shed. Im happy for government to take even a golden share or something in business and sell it later to get money back for taxpayers…
But for goodness sake, who’s to say there’s going to *be* a strong wind?
they were growing some fairly useless stuff, won’t be missed
That sucks. How we charge for electricity probably doesn’t help. Ultimately I think this is going to need to be the future of food.
Vertical farming just sounds like a politer way of saying uphill gardening…
Those full spectrum lights are not cheap to run.
My 5ft salt water fishtank light has 6 channels including UV.. it costs me around.. £1.70 a day to run one 4ft panel light for 10hrs a day. So £600 a year just in electric for the light. (400w LED).
Plus heaters and 5 pumps.
The cost to run that farm, to only produce vegetables which sell for pennies must have been totally brutal.
What would have been more interesting in the article would be if they showed the utilities costs to run that place.
