Its not actually. Read the article. They're actually growing muscle cells in the bio-reactor. Weird times we live in.
Lots of interesting news today

I would consider it if it wasn't so freaking expensive.

What??
$8k for a crate motor complete with ECM , wiring harness, firewall bulkhead and throttle pedal?
Hell A performance gas crate motor will cost you that by itself...
I got excited about this until I got to the bottom of the article and saw the price. It's probably another $10k in batteries and controllers too. The idea is good, but I think they missed the mark on the target customer.

The price isn't world's away from a smooth, reliable 550hp/800ftlb crate engine AND TRANSMISSION that can handle that power. But the bitch will be in the execution. Batteries, controllers, charging systems, etc.

So a Die Hard on the back seat and a set of jumper cables is out of the question?

Hard no. Not for that price. $35k for the motor alone. I'm willing to bet I can get more HP and torque burning dinosaur bones for less money.

Yes, but if you notice in the article, they mention that the final product being largely plant based.
Either way, I am trying to limit my intake of synthetic product not increase it.

My chickens usually stop clucking either before or during the cooking process. They've been quiet for a while before I eat them.

Is there a video that can prove this happened or are they just taking his word for it? Also, why doesn't this guy have a gun?

But he was in Nevada when this happened. And you can own a gun in California, sir. Not the coolest guns, but the list allows for plenty that'll take down a bear. A
.45-70 etc.. Cool that his dog didn't die, but this fella must not have kids to confront a hungry bear with bear fists. (No pun intended)
