Default Re: Newest industry for the area?

I know they grow some in greenhouses in Iceland. At the time I saw them, I didn't pay attention to what kind of supplemental lighting they used but, when I think of it now, I guess they must have had something, because they have very short days, in winter. The cost of the lighrting, however, is offset by the fact that it costs nothing to heat the houses; it's done with hot springs.
