vue - TEDxTucson - Josh Hottenstein - Growing Plants Without Soil Or Sunlight
Immediately after our event, one of our fans on Facebook posted that she had taken her son to inspire him and show him what he might be able to do to contribute to a more sustainable world. She was very happy to report that he was buzzing with excitement afterwards imagining how he could create a green business. Josh Hottenstein is a young local green entrepreneur that contributed greatly to our feeling inspired and in this talk he tells us about a new innovation in growing food locally. Josh Hottenstein and former University of Arizona classmate Myles Lewis have developed a commercial business built from UA research into containerized growing systems that allows for the efficient production of crops using hydroponic growing methods and artificial lighting that use 99% less water, require 90% less fertilizer and provide 30% faster crop cycles! Now Josh is helping us to grow the local food movement and eat produce grown right here in town. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxTucson, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxTucson event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combined to spark deep discussion and connection about sustainability. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.

Cheap solar and LED lighting, photovoltaic on either end, plants convert 4% of solar power in to stored energy, Australian concentrated, cooled, high and low frequency super solar power does it at 40% efficiency, using the right frequencies for the plant, worthless desert land, essentially becomes rich fertile land inside a city building, using reverse osmosis desalination. See Super Solar Cells ABC catalyst, on YouTube, Australia 70% desert, with a small 23 million people, 25% of our continental deserts, can give us 2,500 times our energy needs, or half the worlds food needs through high rise farming, plus half a trillion tons of liquid hydrogen. Major input of high rise farming CO2, major output of high rise farming and L H2 production O2.

The main problem is animal agriculture (methane), it requires massive amounts of water, land, grains & soy, and produces enormous amounts of waste.

People grow pot indoors. So duh.

permaculture & urban gardening is a more appropriate solution. hydroponics is not changing man's domination over nature. we need to seek a more interactive relationship with nature.
