the only thing dumber than the concept is the execution

>>51437447
how does the water escape the system? presumably it's all closed

>>51437447
Build it somewhere else

>>51437447
I bet there's a big brain reason like avoiding certain wildlife from fucking with whatevers going on

Fucking monsanto is putting near a hundred million dollars into algea breeding, the time to act is now

>>51437521
how do you harvest the algae if it's all closed?

>>51437436
Goat farming is comfier

>>51437436
Saltwater algae are the future.
No need to desalinate, just fertilise and let them grow.
Hell, you could even plumb the exhaust from a natural gas plant into the water post scrubber and let the algae use the CO2 for growth

>>51437843
perhaps there's a way to open it to extract, like a bioreactor. but these ponds are apparently open. you can use seawater at least, no need to bring fresh

>>51437872
probably not, i would think the other production byproducts would kill algae.

But still, algae is the future, The missing link in a sustainable future. Produce algae, ake bio plastic and biofuel that all degrades into co2 in less than 50 years. A truly carbon neutral future. And then we'll finally get fusion working and figure out carbon nanotubes and shit and it'll all be a happy memory. Upwards to the stars. Eventually, the aliens will reveal that they exist, their civilizations are all over, just hidden with super alien space tech, and they were waiting for us to be mature enough to speak to them and also have sex with them.

>big brain reason
it requires a metric fuckton of land and land is cheap in the middle of the desert

>>51437436
You VILL wear ze plastic shoes

>and they were waiting for us to be mature enough to speak to them and also have sex with them.
kek

>>51438725
have you ever worn a shoe in your fucking life
it's literally all plastic 100% of the time
this plastic is just better for the environment

>>51438192
People have been working on this for ages and it sounds a lot better on paper. Shrimp farming is way more profitable.

>>51438762
Usually when people work on things for ages, there's a damn good reason

>>51438737
Yes, rishathra with the aliens is the only way forwards

Lol, lmao even. Hemp is a million times better, a solution to almost every modern factorial/industrial problem.
It can also heal the soil:

Terrible for long term storage

>>51439732
Hemp can yield 3-8 dry tons of fibre per acre. That's four times what an average forest can yield. Hemp cultivation requires no chemicals, pesticides or herbicides.
Every single part of the plant can be used.

>>51439797
Use glass.

>>51437436
I don't have the motivation to do all of that. Are there any stocks related to this that I could purchase?

the boomer conflation of
>hemp = dudeweed = evil
really is holding us all back

>>51440578
I owned an algae biofuels stock that went bankrupt or something and I lost all my stock but they still exist today so I guess I got jewed.

>>51437659
What are they doing with algae

>not a grift drummed up by greedy psychopaths

>>51442912
hemp & algae (also corn) can replace fossil-fuel derived plastics very easily

>>51439797
Use glass
