26. I'm familiar with the tundra. Just came through it by train. Besides the logistical problem...

..(there's very few roads up there...even long before you get to the tundra many areas and communities in them are accessed only by plane)

But also this vegetation is pretty scant stuff. Like the article mentions, now it's tickling the shins. that's what...six inches? The amount of area that you'd have to harvest, destroying sensitive habitat in the process and using fuel to do it, would be vast.

edit: it's also very marshy and rocky land.
