Yeah, they didn’t talk about that. Not sure how much the research cost. I’m guessing plants aren’t such a good solution because plants are basically selfish, doing photosynthesis for themselves, not us. So we end up scrounging byproducts, while the plant gets the lion’s share? But again, I’m definitely not a biologist, so what do I know? Secondly, seasonality must be a problem if you want to produce energy on a massive scale in temperate climates.

Yeah. Like firewood.
