Establish lab, win grants, hire researchers, 5 years of pre-planning and experiements, many dead-ends and failed experiments...deadline fast approaching, and then... break-through!
1 rogue researcher with designer stubble who has fucked all the female researchers brings a pot of soil into the lab one day, and plants an acorn seed and waters it. His collegues are confused but he begs for their patience...
Weeks of anxious waiting ensues, deadline is in less than a year, they need results! And then suddenly... a sapling appears! They can announce that they have achieved lab grown wood! The world's press rejoices, the planet is saved!
In the future you will lab grown wood and you will like it.
And yet, that one awesomely subbled researcher sometimes wakes at night in a cold sweat... questioning his methods...
"couldn't I have just planted that acorn outside in nature?" he asks himself, in his darker moments.
He carries his self-doubt with him to the grave. "no one shall ever know.... no one..."
“So you end up shaving off a bunch of material that you spent 20 years growing and that ends up being a waste product.”
This is absolute bullshit. There is virtually ZERO percent of a tree that is "waste product". There is a need for every inch of a tree from lumber to pitch to pulp to mulch. This "scientist" is a quack.
IDK I would never eat lab grown meat but I can't see a downside to having an alternative to heavy foresting (although SOME foresting is necessary to keep things in balance). I guess I can't see how this is a bad thing, but I am open to listen.

I read his commentary in Principle Skinner's voice

They also have those lab grown diamonds, which I am totally against!

“Plotting”
Growing wood.
Sensationalist faggot.
What would be the downside to lab grown wood? Is it sentient? Is your ottoman going to be plotting against you?
Why would stopping cutting down trees lead to less trees?
You mean: less need for trees to be cut down. More trees = more oxygen.
how so?
