I’m sitting in the lobby of Pikes Riverfront Hotel, waiting for my bus to the airport and overhear an Alaskan Legislator and Owner of the Pikes talking on the phone about an effort to build 5 hydroponic green-houses in Gnome Alaska. Apparently they have natural gas that is just being vented / flared and a need for fresh vegetables. They are looking at getting federal, state and local funds put into this project and using it to commercially grow produce year round. Introducing myself I met Jay Ramras, and he handed me the card of the dean of University of Alaska Faribanks and told me to get a hold of her secretary for further information. Rack up points for networking at random opportunities.
