This scene was when I first stumbled acros Brass Eye when flicking channels back in . Funniest thing about it is they have her reading huge key cards off camera so her eyes are all over the place. That's what made me realise it was a spoof show. Then it clicked they were talking about Vertical Fields. Can't beleive that was in 1997.

As you use them to convert all light to just the wave length the specific type of plant uses to grow. So you can fit more in the same space and use robots to tend to them. Which is more people out of jobs (which might be a good or a bad thing depending on what model society goes for)

Commercial solar panels are 10-14% efficient.
TBH, you're better off putting up a wind turbine in our climate.
