It probably would be if we just scaled up existing production methods but that’d seem unlikely because it’s just too expensive and difficult regardless of environmental impact. The goal has always been to find out how to do this in a cheap and scalable manner. That has proved very elusive though to my outsider’s understanding, certainly doesn’t seem to be an easy task. I hope they eventually do.
Yeah, if we can eventually get the carbon footprint down then great. I’m not against lab-meat in principle, but it’s probably not going to be the overnight climate savior that people are hoping for. Meanwhile there’s plenty of plant-based protein available in the here and now.
