Funny wording to use "break" for IP theft, it looks different when the British do it compared to when the Chinese do it, doesn't it?

There's a difference between ressources and IP.

Not for cultured saplings. A plant growing in the forest is a resource, a carefully bred strain cultured over hundreds or thousands of years is nationalized IP.

Is there? We patent plants on one hand and on the other use raw ideas as a resource to build virtual and financial empires.

Can plants be used to clean pollutants from the atmosphere in a space station? Maybe not: https://www.gardenmyths.com/garden-myth-born-plants-dont-pur... https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/03/indoor-p...

It seems like as a rough approximation your plants would need to grow at least as much biomass as you eat every day.

I'm thinking we each make our own little ecosystem, maybe a half an acre would be enough. Maybe make it double walled, just in case, and then say screw it to everyone else as climate change and various other big things occur on the outside.

The gun turrets on the roof that keep away the roaming marauders need to be self sustaining too.

Take a leaf from the book of Plants vs. Zombies and grow your own defense system!

It would get too hot in most places, I think. Glass, especially if double walled, stops the heat getting out, but most of the heat from the sun will be able to get in (as infra-red). So you'd need supporting systems (i.e. air conditioning) outside.

AFAIK, at a certain depth below ground-level, the temperature is constant all-year-round. Something like that in two meters the ground is constantly around 14°C or something like that. ...so basically all you'd need to do is just dig a hole, put a bunch of metal pipes inside, seal it all up and run cooling water through and couple it to a closed-loop temperature control and you're done. The idea is from an article fr…

Or just use a commercially available heat pump.

Is there? If I steal a prototype from a company or tea saplings and ruin the companies business? If there is any it looks very superficial to me.

Have you ever watched Biodome?

Movies from 1972 vs 1996? I'll take the ecological classic that is a bit more in line with the OC's post. Silent Running was very much an ecological and social statement about humanity and the Earth. I cried when Lewie was gone, and felt bad for Dewey.

I remember blubbing as a kid when I first watched silent running - for the same reasons.
