Yep. I bet Philly already has a robust, uh, "indoor farming" industry already.

On the CBS3 health watch, its vertical farming. Philadelphia aims to become an international hub for indoor growing, according to a resolution passed today by city council.
When growing produce we usually think of acres of farmland. Some say the next generation of farming will be in urban centers like Philadelphia, and you won’t need soil or the sun, just an old warehouse.
Welcome to vertical farming, where produce is grown inside, in specialized shelves that are stacked up vertically....

LOL, they’re going to have an amazing marijuana industry!!!
It’s going to be both the indoor and outdoor hub for fist fights when the convention comes to town...
Ha, my first thought, too.
They were worried how much a head of lettuce would cost if it weren’t for illegals. Imagine how much lettuce from there would cost.
Sounds like another attempt at redefining reality and trying to one up God's creation by the atheists leftists with a futuristic dystopian vision. We'll see how good those crops grow without natural sunlight and good old fashioned farmland. They try to remove God and his handiwork and replace it with man made counterfeits at every turn thinking they are above Him while denying His existence. Deep down they know and one day they will know without any doubt.
Is that what they call it now?
Funniest part is they’re going to have to learn a lot from the indoor pot industry to make a go of things.
Hopefully Chicago 1968 will be recreated this year.
But is this sustainable? Lighting and climate control for these operations will be solar powered, right?
Ensure all your fruits and vegetables are fresh from Philly!
Yeah. Not so much...
The two founders are a businessman and a reformed marijuana grower. haha.
Actually, it’s ideal for lettuce and would drive the price down.
Yep. I bet Philly already has a robust, uh, "indoor farming" industry already.
Hipsters. Pfffft.
My second thought is that some Asian countries are in the forefront of indoor vertical farming.
“Crack don’t grow on trees!”
My greatest hope for the convention is that thousands of leftist wastrels receive the hickory shampoos they so desperately deserve.
Energy for grow lights alone would offset any profit.
But this kind of boondoggle would provide excellent ‘cover’ for criminals growing marijuana ... And I’m guessing it’ll morph into a ‘program’... for members of democrat victim groups ... and get city funding ... and it won’t work... discovered after millions and millions have been thrown down the rat hole... etc etc...
I got to do that once to some smelly anti-nuke protestors. One of the best days of my life.
Hopefully Chicago 1968 will be recreated this year...
Hopefully the Democratic Party will implode...
