I see that it produces a fair amount of CO2 from the lighting. It would be great to see how this compares to the amount of CO2 used to ship a similar product from the fields.
(Plus, presumably, higher harvesting energy costs.)
- adaml_623 12y agoDon't you hate it when they use non standard measures: "a single head of lettuce grown under artificial light produces enough carbon dioxide at the average power plant to fill three 55-gallon drums" I'm pretty sure the acceptable unit for volume is the telephone booth and the olympic swimming pool.
- huuu 12y agoPlants need CO2 to grow. Most of the time CO2 is added. So I don't think CO2 production from lighting is an issue.
- AndrewDucker 12y agoI'd like to see some comparison. If 10x as much is produced as is used, that's possibly an issue!
- pjc50 12y agoThe issue is how much is ending up in the atmosphere.
