Innovations in Agriculture
I came across this company and the innovative approach they have to agriculture. With the increasing water shortage here in Central Valley, could we bring this company to share their expertise with our farmers?

Note that their vertical farming approach uses only 5% water to that of traditional farming methods.

Hi Victor!
I agree, very exciting stuff. As you know, my initial interest has been in biodiesel. The only problem with biodiesel is the production and price... growing enough oil-producing plants to make lots of it at a low price. This same company, Valcent, has a super idea along the same lines. Make biodiesel out of algae grown vertically. Awesome! Saves water, magnitudes greater production per acre, not using food for fuel....So why doesn't this valley become the renewable energy capital of the country/world???
