Reply to Cultured Chicken Is a Step Closer as a Second US Company Gets FDA Approved by virtualmase

The following submission statement was provided by /u/virtualmase:

>However, the sale of cultured meat isn’t fully legal in the US yet (in fact, the only countries where the meat can be sold right now are Singapore and Israel), so regulations are going to need to keep pace with production capacity to make such facilities worth building. Last week California-based Good Meat took a step in this direction, receiving a crucial FDA approval for sale of its cultured chicken in the US.
Cultured meat is made by taking muscle cells from a live animal (without harming it) and feeding those cells a mixture of nutrients and growth factors to make them multiply, differentiate, and grow to form muscle tissue. The harvested tissue then needs to be refined and shaped into a final product, which can involve extrusion cooking, molding, or 3D printing.

eww

>if it makes gas demands decline, it might lower gas prices.

short term yes, long term no. It will cause the collapse and resizing of the fossil fuel industry which will end up making fossil fuels more expensive in the long run. No more subsidization, no more economies of scale for equipment manifacturers, no more R&D, will probably be slapped with hefty carbon taxes at some point.

I went off hospital equipment prices. I wasn't aware of this. Thank you for the reference.

By comparison, these look like you could put together a "research grade" EEG setup for under $5k.

For the sort of data needed to extract imagery, it would have to be a high resolution signal. I don't know if it is even possible yet. Some mentioned taking word fragments and producing generated imagery, but that's very different from "recording" imagery from someone's brain.

What bland media are you talking about? Because while Disney/Marvel stuff is a bit cookie cutter that's not all that's out there and it's not hard to look, there's an unprecedented ability for people to create indie media and people have greater access to media created in other cultures and in other time periods than ever before.

Things only feel bland superficially imo.

Germany has already hit the target as well as far as I know.

But it's supposed to be an average over the whole eu, so some countries will end up way above target and others well below. Some with better reasons (france comes to mind) others with worse reasons.

There is so much to say about improving processess, eliminating tasks and paperwork

the case with nuclears isn't that straight forward since they belong to a different risk level category, if you messed up a wind farm its not bigger than common indstrial sites, usually lower than many standard cases, from land adquisition to materials to risk assessment so standard cases could be used as template to save time and then find ways to improving work flow and simplifying /standarizing to apply it to all member states regulations

for ovbious reasons with nuclear you need to be more careful about location needs, materials quality and building methods, security, safety, handling and disposal.....no cutting corners

The biggest changes in gas supply have come from the US and Norway, but the EU is also striking agreements with a diverse list of partners. Additionally, increased pace of renewables installation and reducing demand for power are playing a substantial role. Gas usage in the EU dropped significantly in the EU last year and that drop is likely to continue into this year.
