Basically this seems to be saying that this is a no-go at the moment and possibly forever. We’re going to need innovation on top of innovation on top of innovation to make this work…if it can be done at scale. To me though I think we’re looking at the wrong problem. Why scale the technology up? Could we just build smaller facilities…like a lot of them that serve as local hubs that cultivate and grow for an area? You know…like a farm? Go to your local “farm” to get the meat. If the hump is scale…stop scaling get smaller.

I’m cynically assuming the answer to why this won’t work is that there’s no money in it so no one would fund it.
