Ok, ok, everyone, I've got it. It's great. As you know, two meh ideas together make one galaxy-brain idea so here it is. Gravity batteries + vertical farming.

Ok, ok, everyone, I've got it. It's great. As you know, two meh ideas together make one galaxy-brain idea so here it is. Gravity batteries + vertical farming. This is so amazing I'm just jittering over here. So what are big shafts filled with before they are shafts? Dirt! What do plants need to grow? Dirt! So what you do is ... wow this is great ... what you do is you take the dirt out, then you make this big battery thing a stack of dirt shelves that go up and down and while they are going up and down they also grow plants in the dirt. So now you have a big field of these dirt stacks going up and down and in the middle you have a big farmers market. Money from dirt two ways. God how is this not already a thing. Problems solved. Done.
