	The significance of the above figure fo 270,000 gallons of gasoline-equivalent solar ray energy coming '''PER ACRE PER YEAR''' is a great starting point for capturing some of that energy either in the form of solar concentrator thermal electric power or in the form of chemical energy such as grass.

Labor Time vs. Caloric Output

	Labor time is far easier to measure task performance than calories burned: we can observe tasks performed in a time sequence easier than the calories used to perform tasks. Factoring skill level or task experience, measuring labor time verses caloric usage is assumed to make figures more consistent; therefore more agreeable.

	In any case other than labor, it makes sense to measure energy usage, like of that in machines, as they are designed specifically for a task, whereas human calories may be burned for reasons other than tasks. For example, a person may have a broken leg while laboring while the body directs calories to the broken limb instead of the task. If a labor economy where measured in calorie output and a laborer where paid in calories directed toward a task, the 'earner' made more before the ailment than after. To present a stronger argument, the person with a broken leg may be a writer, unable to do the ~~jobs~~ when incapacitated by pain medication, even if caloric output per hour was the same. This again, makes time suspect! How inelegant!

	A more accurate approach may be value based on raw supply/demand when applied per task performed to generate a product. This formula can only work once tasks are formalized for product consistency--a potential issue of note as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Tail Long Tail economy] anticipates increased demand for customization that may divert the labor value map from the assumed territory. If we assert labor as the only scarce good in the economy, a price tag is only used to compensate labor. Of course, I think we're all in agreement, at least for those at Factor e Farm, that we would rather not have money mucking up the chain at all; and that labor is ideally voluntary without financial payment. Therefore, labor is only compensated for a community that is not motivated otherwise to do anything.
