> However based on past experience with growing crops under artificial light, I wonder if the investment makes sense. There are a number of issues that have to be addressed, the most urgent is providing enough light for plants to grow. Sunlight is very expensive to replicate with human-made light sources, the energy requirements are steep even with the most efficient illumination available.

It's unclear, certainly to me, what that will do re: small growing operations in the future. We'd need to hear from an expert on that subject.
