118. I don't think anyone said it was more profitable
It is more energy efficient. But as was pointed out, it is more labor-intensive. The savings on the cost of energy is more than off-set by the cost of the additional labore required.
But again, this doesn't account for the HUGE costs of industrial farming that are being "stored" in the future. We won't come up on those costs for a while yet, but they will certainly bite us in the ass.
