Interesting stuff. What type of cotton do you yield, Upland cotton (**Gossypium hirsutum**) or Egyptian cotton (Gossypium barbadense), what are the energy costs compared to importing verses growing indoors with the energy costs.

[@gstarraw]

We used the variety Buranda which belongs to Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). Greenhouse growing may indeed require (solar) energy for heating. When compared to the opportunities to decrease water and land use while significantly increasing yield, these advantages outweigh the minor use of energy. Exact energy costs heavily depend on local energy supplier rates.
