City farming—Pigs in the Sky?

By Dennis Avery Monday, October 18, 2010

CHURCHVILLE, VA—Green visionary, Dixon Despommier, of Columbia University has proposed growing our food in city high-rises, to cut food transport energy use. The bad news is that city farming would be impossibly expensive—as it always has been. The good news: the high-rise farms will never be built.

Another project, the Sky-farm Project was proposed in 2007, as a 58-floor skyscraper that would produce as much food as an 800-acre farm! But the U.S. farms more than 400 million acres of land—equal to 500,000 skyscraper farms! Those sky-towers would cost billions.

Cropland in Iowa costs an average of $6,000 per acre or about $5 million for an 800 acre farm. An acre or so of usable land In Manhattan might cost about the same $5 million, but construction costs would be enormous.

Each floor of each high-rise would have to support either water-soaked soil or the water for hydroponic production. Ten thousand cubic feet of water per floor would weigh 620,000 pounds. Two hundred people plus their office furniture might weigh only 40,000 pounds.

Replacing sunlight with “grow lightsâ€

If you are paying attention to the green agenda; U.N. Agenda 21st vision.. they want people to move out of the country and into city dwelling... you are being herded; just like cattle

You better be RUNNING from Obama / Clinton as fast as you can.. these people are INSANE and are pushing the U.N. Agenda 21 HARD

Wake up from the trance America

Also, the United Nations, the Obama Administration, Al Gore, others are pushing the Smart Meters across the nation. The Obama Administration is throwing money from the stimulus bill, $3.4 billion, right and left to utilities to get the Smart Meter on every home and business for the ultimate control in use of energy, without necessary consent from the homeowner or business. The meter will allow them to control thermostats, appliances, electronics as they talk back and forth.

While we are protesting the health care bill, working to get better representation in Congress, the stealth move to quickly install smart meters is taking place all across the nation, and only a small percentage of people know anything about it and know of its dangers.

Just as the Obama Administration wants to ration health care, they want to ration energy use. People need to speak out.

Pitching his message to Oregon's environmentally-conscious voters, Obama called on the United States to "lead by example" on global warming, and develop new technologies at home which could be exported to developing countries.

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

"That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added.
