One of the benefits of using more than 1x sunlight might be that not too many crop eating insects could handle the excess sunlight too.Something would have to evolve almost to handle the excess sunlight.I agree that we would want to use reflected light as much as we can to remove the IR part of sunlight real cheap.Moonlight is a beautiful example of reflected sunlight(no heat in it).I like the idea too that someone here expressed about diatoms.Maybe those silica shells evolved to focus the sunlight too.triffid

I like it too that someone somewhere is using reflected light upon plants.I had never seen an article about it before not.Now I don't feel so ashamed.For the past three days I've felt the giant clams were one up on us.Triffid

I don't fear aliens so much as I do the thought that we humans may have the most advanced brains in our galaxy.It would mean that there's nobody smarter than us.If we are alone then its up to us to fill up our galaxy.Triffid
