Hmm, a burning question indeed... I suspect that the whole thing was just something Owen made up because he wanted to cover up that he'd been growing pot.
My thought was, considering the requirements, and that all of the housing is underground, maybe they are farming the magic mushrooms GL was apparently using when he came up with the PT?

Now I know what the gushers mean by searching desparately for nitpicks. Nonetheless, its always fun to do stuff like this....
If you are referring to the PT, there is no need to search desperately for nitpicks. They just kind of rush at you, almost like an avalanche. It is trying NOT to find nitpicks, THAT is the desperate part!
Helena poses an interesting question, and I did not take her post to mean she was nitpicking. It's one of those background things that DOES make you wonder. Another $.02 from me is that maybe there are times of the year when there is more moisture - such as a point in the planet's orbit where it is further out from the suns, and the moisture is easier to collect because it is not being evaporated as quickly.
