There are still hurdles to overcome, but growing the seaweed industry in a state known for lobster could be a win for local fishermen, dairy and cattle operations, and the planet.

    Yeah, I think its useful to continue trialing out the technology and see if it can hold up to snuff. But at the same time banking on this idea as our only approach to decarbonizing protein (which is what the beef industry would prefer) is short sighted, imo

      Yeah, decarbonizing meat without reducing consumption isn’t gonna be a long term solution, but if it works, it can be a part of it. Hoo ha diverse tactics!

      Absolutely. There is no single solution to our environmental situation, but that also means that individual solutions shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand because they aren’t themselves that non-existent magic bullet.
