Just watched the documentary The Need to Grow and shared it with all my friends!!!!! Thank you so much for fighting for this movement to help people & save our planet I will support you forever!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 God bless!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@alejandroalcala3146]

thanks i was looking for the documentary

[@biogroovy]

Ditto

[@frantroje3177]

Loved learning about this in the need to grow.

[@willo4719]

my uncle mike made this and we finally visited it last summer:) I’m glad others are liking his idea! It was so fun to visit, we went to the top and it was like 1,00 degrees lol.

[@williamwalls4236]

Could you send the video of my idea to your uncle? I would love to know what he thinks! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHuzeGRsntWepdE

[@jessoakley3746]

It’s been 4 yrs since your comment. How have things been going for your uncle since then?

[@Nature_Quixote]

Yes!! I'm so thankful that someone is finally getting this technology into the western world! This is the future. No waste!

[@jeffyablon6673]

How inspiring. How many homes can one Biosystem unit power? As an architect, I would love to integrate this system into a larger self-sufficient, solar-powered community.

[@ThoorAasahnen]

According to their own information about 100 American homes. Of course better-insulated homes like hemp Eco homes would need just one-third of that energy.

[@simplyemily8251]

This is not solar power dear hun and good luck with building your cult

[@GregJoshuaW]

@@simplyemily8251 Algae get their energy from solar. So yes, it technically is solar powered. Take away the sun and the only way it would work is massive grow lights. lol

I just learned about this from Matt Powers! I’d love to come and visit the plant someday, it’s all of a two hour drive from where I am.

[@ronlabe5487]

What feedstocks could be used if you didn't have a sawmill handy? How many people does it take to run? What parts of this technology are owned by the DOE or are proprietary? If a group wanted to build one, what would it actually cost to build?

[@simplyemily8251]

Ron Labe it is run by logging companies dear hun

[@ronlabe5487]

@@simplyemily8251 Correct but they claimed it could be run on other feedstock.

[@dancingwithkerry3813]

@@ronlabe5487 Any cellulose based feedstock. Hemp and Bamboo or Coconut husks. Whatever is most sustainable in a given area.

[@ronlabe5487]

@@simplyemily8251 Yeah... I was really excited when I wrote that and was ready ro secure the funding to build a private one. Then I realized this was a tax deductible stunt for harvesting carbon credits; not actually technology intended to improve the world. Sad.

[@ronlabe5487]

@@dancingwithkerry3813 Yeah. It's a shame this was a stunt and they didn't actually intend to change anything at all; let alone the world with it. Primary key components are owned by the department of energy. All other exciting parts were patented by Michael. Fact is... all the parts of this are very low tech. Biodigesting can be done with 2 barrels. Algae forms in your pool if you don't try to kill it. Biochar needs a kiln that can be made again from two scrap tanks. You can do every part of this in your backyard under $1000. What they did was manage to take simple technology and arrange it into an incredibly complicated (though beautiful) system that cost millions of dollars. The problem though, is the only reason the green powerhouse was in any way viable was because they had an enormous supply of wood chips right there from a massive sawmill. Trying to ship in that much feedstock makes it fully infeasible. You can't just build this thing in your neighborhood and power 100 homes like they tried to infer.

Loved The Need To Grow...

[@annettet7]

Been waiting forever for something like this. Fantastic

[@wiscombee]

Thank you for this inspiring work!

[@lievengodderis]

Waauw ! Super integrated and curious after viewing the Netflix documentary. We need this in Belgium! Please get in contact with me.

[@belledessa991]

Yes, this is amazing!

[@simplyemily8251]

Super dumb question but once all the naturally found wood is used do you need logging companies to keep feeding them wood? Kind regards Emily

[@GregJoshuaW]

I believe any organic inputs would work, even grass clippings. So in the summer you could possibly feed it tons of grass clippings that most municipalities are presently adding to the dump. I'm just learning about these now though so don't quote me.

I could watch this all day. I am a peasant living in an apartment. I want to build a living quarters into one of these Power Plants and live there. can that be done? Awe I want one so bad...

[@dancingowljp2939]

Fantastic idea 😊

[@kwiggit9936]

You, too, could have this. *Starting* at $2,500,000. Proof of funds required upfront.

[@robertaldrich2635]

After watching Need to Grow, I was very excited about this. But apparently it's dead in the water, they aren't active any longer. Or am I wrong?

[@Eccleston07]

This is amazing :)

[@NecaVideo]

Have they rebuilt this facility again? I seen a video where whole place burned down 😢

[@honeymaru68]

Yes. They rebuilt.

[@niranjaninisal6596]

#inventormichaelsmith you should give credit to the inventor

Has this technology become popular yet?

Amazing

Not yet. I am going there next week

[@rinnin]

Would be great to see an animation or breakdown to show how this is Carbon Negative (or Neutral) instead of the dodgy accounting traditional Biomass pants use, where they chop down forests and pretend they don't emit CO2

[@Khumbu0609]

@rinnin all your answers are in this documentary. It's really informative and inspirational. grow.foodrevolution.org/screening/

[@hollykroetz1101]

Agreed. There is one animation in the Need to Grow documentary, but I watched it several times only to realize that they never do explain exactly what kind of energy it is that they are able to extract. The only one I saw was the methane gas from the algea production was used to fire the dragon that anaerobically heated the wood to 1,000 degrees, but how that goes on to power homes is not explained even there.

[@rinnin]

Thanks @Khumbu0609 It’s a great movie / documentary 🙏🌎🌱

Another one has been built.

[@robby7025]

It doesnt look traditional. I needs to be integrated with traditional architecture. Will not see adoptation. Many hopeful projects failed because of anti-traditional sentiments.

[@jessoakley3746]

Although I can see your point and agree to some extent, there may be other factors at play with regards to adoption. A great example of this idea is the Tesla truck. The aesthetics were heinous, yet there was an extensive waiting list to get one long before the release.
