>Food tech start-up Solar Foods has created a climate-friendly, protein-rich food made from electricity, air and water laced with bacteria. Solein is made by applying electricity to water to release bubbles of carbon dioxide and hydrogen captured from the air.
>Living microbes are added to the liquid – these create protein that is then dried to form a protein-rich powder.The production model is similar to the fermentation process that is used to make beer. It can be used to produce food "in the desert, arctic or even in space".
>According to its makers, Solein is 100 times more climate-friendly than any animal or plant-based alternative, when it comes to water use, land-use efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions.
>The company plans to produce enough powder to make two billion meals a year by 2022. Solein doesn't require arable land or irrigation.
Sweet. We finally have the yeast farms every sci-fi book promised us

>oy goy eat bugs! >oy goy eat bacteria! >don't you care about the planet goy? >OY DON'T YOU EAT THAT BACON The jew fears the hearty meal made out of animal corpses.
bacteria is in lots of foods and is necessary for production of certain nutrients

This is fucking depressing. I hate capitalism so much.
Ethan Barnes
>startup invents photosynthesis Wow.

>made from electricity, air and water laced with bacteria How many kilowatts of energy go into producing a 1 kcal worth of this magic food?
Dylan Ward
Those weren't suicides all along
Joseph Edwards
That's really cool, will probably not see anything like this in stores for at least ten years. Wonder how well it would work in space, imagine a moon colony living off fruit, vegetables and this protein powder.
Jonathan Hughes
Why they need electricity if the bacteria just needs co2?
Juan Thompson
It's not much per square inch, but here is the kicker, Based Saomi over here can stack these like sheets and parallel setup for increased efficiency, essentially giving it an almost joule for joule calorific transformation. You might as well be eating pure energy.
You need to get the co2 from somewhere. Keep in mind that this is ultimately space tech and has to be applicable in any environment. I wonder about energy efficency, though. Probably still really good compared to livestock.
Sebastian Brooks
fucked up replies sorry guys
Ethan Morales
The electricity is used to generate co2? But muh warming
Jason Foster
In closed system.
Eli Stewart
Disgusting, trim the armpit hair
I don't know man, read the article
Austin Roberts
Yes

>The company plans to produce enough powder to make two billion meals a year by 2022 SUPERPOWER BY 2022 FUCK YEAH

>applying electricity to water to release bubbles of carbon dioxide and hydrogen captured from the air. Electrolysis of water results in hydrogen and oxygen. There's about 387ppm of CO2 dissolved in ocean water. You might as well get it from the atmosphere. This article has no credibility.

Feeding Africa makes us superpower? Or what do you mean?
Aiden Walker
I'm mostly just making fun of India but having practically infinite food with just some water sounds great. And Sweden is already a humanitarian superpooper so lets not compete with them in Africa.
Jose Taylor
This is pretty cool. Certainly sounds more appealing than maggot burgers.
Eli Gray
But you know the free food is going to be used to feed Africa. They need a lot of food because their population is growing fast.
Caleb Cox
I sure as fuck hope that this company and it's technology isn't sold to some big multinational firm and instead is kept firmly in the control of Finnish people.
Cameron Gutierrez
>I sure fucking hope capitalism won't act like capitalism
Jonathan Lee
Fuck capitalism, and fuck your rat faced parasite race to the dirt. Hitler did nothing wrong and Holocaust can't happen for real soon enough. Now piss off, you filthy fucking kike. I wish death upon your entire race.
>from nothing >besides water, air, bacteria and energy
Just like farmers who grow food from nothing, except soil, seed, fertilizer and water.
Adam Walker
doesn't look very delicious

You know jews will put estrogen shit in it independent.co.uk/news/science/sperm-count-west-men-health-drop-60-per-cent-years-modern-life-a7859491.html >Sperm counts have plunged by nearly 60 per cent in just 40 years among men living in the West, according to a major review of scientific studies that suggests the modern world is causing serious damage to men’s health. >Pesticides, hormone-disrupting chemicals, diet, stress, smoking and obesity have all been “plausibly associated” with the problem, which is associated with a range of other illnesses such as testicular cancer and a generally increased mortality rate. >The researchers who carried out the review said the rate of decline had showed no sign of “levelling off” in recent years. >The same trend was not seen in other parts of the world such as South America, Africa and Asia, although the scientists said fewer studies had been carried out there.
Bentley Turner
Heh good one brother
Benjamin Jones
>This article has no credibility. Because the journalist has no biology knowledge, so she could not understand the process. What the Finns do is to create hydrogen from water with electrolysis; capture the CO2 from the atmosphere, then feed it to hydrogen oxidizing bacteria.
David Hall
Solar panels, the idea is to use it in future to make food in space.
