  The lede is buried: they’re talking about making fats from methane and electricity. We already make other food additives from fossil fuels and electricity, this is just doing it for certain fats. This is, obviously, not sustainable, and is only considered plausible because of the ubiquity of fossil fuel extraction, which must be dramatically downsized under any realistic plan for handling global warming.

  assess the potential for widescale synthetic production of dietary fats through chemical and biological processes. The raw materials for this method are the same as those used by plants: hydrogen in water and carbon dioxide in the air.
