Half our people here work for Corning.

They like the rest of capital, went overseas for "more profit" but then pulled back somewhat by restoring some production facilities here. I like to think it was caused by management looking into the near future and seeing something they did not like.

They have a huge R and D lab here, no way was that going overseas.

A Geodesic Greenhouse: Year- Round Gardening at 6000 Feet (Video)

And, my personal tag, self sufficiency.

By Bibi Farber and Peak Moment TV
Next World TV

In the Grow Dome you can grow food year round, even in harsh climates with challenging growing conditions. The geodesic greenhouse featured here in Colorado at 6,000 feet, is literally a lush hothouse of fresh vegetables and herbs.

Take a grand tour with Buckhorn Gardens manager and permaculturist Breigh Peterson: the greenhouse structure with its interplay of light and water, warmth and air; curving raised beds of vegetables and flowers; fish tanks moderating the temperature; vertical trellises and shelves to use vertical space. Outdoors a huge garden of row crops and a young orchard are complemented by free-roaming chickens and ducks. Enjoy this fantastic example of how to grow food in a small space, throughout the year, pretty much anywhere. It is absolutely possible!

This TV show comes to us from Peak Moment TV – Locally Reliant Living For Challenging Times – and is produced by Janaia Donaldson and Robyn Mallgren.

You're welcome. :) I think it would make a thrifty home for colder climates, too, with little to no heating costs in the winter.
