Lab grown meat, once perfected, is going to be such a game changer. Way cheaper, way healthier, no need for cattle feed and water and all the wasted land it takes.

I understand, but hate the pushback against this from conservatives. The current mass industrialization of animal slaughter for mass consumption is a huge industry with lots of profit and shareholders, so they're going to fight hard to prevent it.

Maybe they're not counting trucks and semi's as part of transportation for EVs? Looks like road transport is 12% vs 5.8% for livestock. Even counting the feed stocks, meet still won't be anywhere near to 24% of total ghg emissions.
