If the described patches prove robust, and if the production process can be scaled up, the potential of this technology is tremendous. It is increasingly clear that we are beginning to acquire capabilities which, even a decade ago, might have been assumed to belong to a civilization significantly more advanced than our own. If we continue to move our technology forward at the current pace, we may yet find ways to slow or even stop massive ecological damage and resource depletion.
