Batteries would probably be really useful here, but building the proper cells would require volatile chemicals that aren't exactly lying around for our use.

I guess, if they really want to get that greenhouse idea going, they'll need to go with some other idea.

[A pause.] So, you didn't tell me what you're up to.
