Author Bio:
Steve Mitnick is Editor-in-Chief of Public Utilities Fortnightly and author of the book “Lines Down: How We Pay, Use, Value Grid Electricity Amid the Storm.”
Visiting the huge AeroFarms indoor ag facility in downtown Newark NJ is like watching Matt Damon grow potatoes in The Martian. Unlike on Mars, the farming in Newark is done without soil. A cloth medium is used instead. Add plenty of LED lighting and voila, beautiful greens for your salad.
