The solution to pollution is dilution.

Only the Russians could have caused the worst nuclear disaster in the world, and even with them trying as hard as possible to create a catastrophe, it's still tame compared to all the life lost with other sources of energy. They won't make the same mistake again, either.

We'll be growing individual organs in the near future, custom programmed with our own DNA so there is no need for anti-rejection/immunosuppression drugs. I like dystopian movies that take technology concepts to an absurd end, but absurdity never happens. Black Mirror was phenomenally entertaining.

I like the concept of growing meat, rather than the whole animal. Seems it holds potential to be humane, and lower energy and space requirements. We're just coming out of the caveman period of genetic understanding, so there is tons of what I consider to be low-hanging fruit in leveraging gene technology.
