Antarctic pig vault
Grow food on Antartica and store it in case of global catastrophic destructive mega-annoying events!!! | |
There is a lot of humongous wind in Antarctica. Very many spots with averages of 10m/s. Excellent for wind power.
1. Install may wind turbines, and generate electricity.
2. Build well insulated hydroponic farms which use the electricity for their lamps.
3. Grow many foodstuffs, including animal
fodder, and raise pigs.
4. Once the pigs are all growed up, dig a huge pit into some ice-shelf.
5. Bury the pigs, and place a sign-board on top of the mega-meat cemetary.
Voilà. In case of a seriously world annoying event, such as a nuclear winter or an all destructive meteor impact, you have a nice source of deep-frozen protein that can be relied on by small communities of survivors.
We will also create a vegan section in the cemetary, with deeprozen grains and vegetables.
The (hopefully) still working wind-turbines and lamps can then be used to unfreeze the food.
Happy post-apocalyptic meal.

Only the soviets could have planned on this scale. [MaxwellBuchanan, Mar 01 2011]

Bizarrely enough, this scheme was implemented some time
ago in Eastern Europe. More details in the <link> |

Instead of cremation (which produces a lot of CO2), human corpses could be stored there against globally catastrophic events. Kind of a zombie land down south. |

So I'm as big a genius as the soviets? What an honor! |

Honestly, I came to this idea entirely independently from Stalin. |

And luckily my pigs are a bit more tasty than that shrivelled dino. |

Ouch [bigsleep], you have a point. I didn't think of that. But surely, some chunks of the icecap will remain intact? |
|
| |
If not, we'll use some of the windpower's electricity to produce ice. |
|
| |
I second mp's tagline call! |
|
| |
Tagline alright. But do ask Mr Stalin's permission to use it. You never know what he'll bring on to you if you're not careful. |

The name "Mega meat cemetery" sounds like a sweet
name for a fast food chain. |

"Welcome to Mega Meat Cemetery, what can I dig up
for you?" |
