Let’s see if I’ve got this right. We start with a hundred acre corn field, remove all the corn, and replace it with solar cells. We now generate electricity instead. We use the electricity to make complex enzymes, to remove CO2 from the air, and to electrolyze water to make hydrogen. We then use more of the electricity to mix the enzymes with the hydrogen to make starch.

Why not simply leave the corn there, and get far more starch instead?

No money for tech corporations that way. This tech trend is going to destroy our planet. They are going to kill it trying to “so called” save it.

Kind of nice to see the shoe go on the other vegan foot for a change though. lol
