>Q: Is this combination of thin-film technology production and
>conveyor crop production viable?

A: Yes the technology is economically viable.

>Q: Has this technology been demonstrated in other parts of
>the USA and in developing countries?

A: We have had considerable interest in the technology and the concepts
that it demonstrates. I don't believe anyone to date has replicated our
exact system, but have used the concepts to maximize their plant
production.
