Monkeys don't even have paws.

I’m really surprised you’d need 600 million to run this company. Like why not start with one farm in the tens of millions of dollars range and run that profitably first? VCs would …

Gas heaters also have around 90% efficiency, I think. It seems like gas is strictly better?

What about a wood burning stove? That would be more reliable if you are truly off the grid.
