I don’t think they’re the answer now, but they might become one among many answers in the future, as they improve.
I feel like a lot of the issues pointed out are a result of inefficiency. You’d need better designed systems, but for example:
- heating - solar panels pretty much waste Sun heating. This should be redirected towards plants.
- cooling - instead of cooling the farm, design it so you can reflect heat in hot days
- lighting - instead of converting blue/red lights into electricity and back into light, couldn’t the light be redirected towards the plants?
