This is what builders generally do and they take 100% of the pie.

So the Global Peace Gov'ts take 2/3 of the profits while taking no
risk -- simply by supplying building plans. And presumably such plans,
being so magnificent, will provide the new "demand" for such
facilities (that is, buyers will shift from purchasing regular housing
and facilities that the builders could build on their own and opt for
living in a peace community. With other peace people, some of whom
wear funny hats and gowns.). Any marketing studies to support that
premise?

Uh huh. And where exactly is everywhere? Can a list of builders who
sigened on and who have committed funds be supplied?

Yes, I guess the builers' trade journals all have front page stories
on this. Well maybe in the next issue, because I find nothing so far.

And what were the costs? $300,000. With volunteer labor?

And this extensive demand for very high-priced organics was determined
how? And assuming the M. Greenhouses are an innovation, and such
greenhouses are actually profitable, what prevents other players from
entering the market to soak up that demand? Why would an investor
partner up with the TMO and give away 1/2 or 2/3's of thier profits?
What propriatory knowledge does the TMO bring to the table here?

A marginal increase in nutrients for 5 times the price. Sounds attractive.

Can this be ramped up quickly by a factor of 2.5 million?
Particularly give that the VC greenhouse is probably largely run by
volunteer or very low cost labor.

And how many have signed up, and committed real funds?
 

I wish them the best, but things seem a pie-in-the-sky, pipe-dream
thinking at this point.
