A Spinach-Powered House

Is your house getting enough iron? Via Future Feeder, here’s a design for a house that, well, runs on spinach:

The core extends vertically, clad with a super-conductive photosynthetic plasma cell skin that is able to generate 200% more electrical voltage per area than contemporary photovoltaics. Building on current research involving extracted spinach protein, this living skin is photosynthetic and phototropic it grows and follows the path of the sun, generating electricity in excess of single family needs. Excess power is distributed to neighboring homes and street lighting infrastructure.

What more can I say? Super cool.
