A better solution for growing our own bio fuels
I think I have a solution for our lack of land for growing fuel. (if it has not been thought of yet that is;) If we created pyramids of racks/ cables. If things were grown on tiers, they would all receive sunlight. It would take less land to accommodate more crops for growing biofuels.
Q1: Do you think it will work? Why or Why not?
Idea Description
Running lines similar to those for grapes only these would be at different heights so this would allow more room for more growing. Corn would not benefit from this, (due to height I would think) but soybeans in pots, algae, and berries anything that can be potted. hanging pots from lines. probably lose fewer crops dues to flooding. Depending on flood height. Please think about this. imagine getting three to five or even more times the crops out of the same acreage.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Drawing up the plans and trying out different possibilities for this to work at it's best for the environment.

I like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs
This is already being done with hydroponic crops (peppers, berries, tomatoes etc) in spain and elsewhere...but there are limitations due to the cost of the structure to hold the plants and shading issues for light penetration to the plant. In addition, crops that are grown as biofuels (large cereal crops like corn) are too big to be tiered in this way. Anothoer issue is that the price of the land used to grow corn is not too expensive, so while farmers are always trying to increase productivity, it is less important to them when the land is not a high cost for them, and they are less likely to want to invest in costly infrastructure to suspend plants in the air.
