For those wondering what electro-ag is: convert CO2 into acetate—a carbon-rich compound that can fuel crop growth without sunlight.

Plant-made plants, like industrial chemical plant-made.
What about topsoil depletion and compost production?
I read that it was [Vitamin E] acetate in carts that was causing EVALI lung conditions?
What nutrients does it require synthetic or natural production of, and how sustainable are those processes?
Have the given organisms co-evolved with earth ecology for millions of billions of years?

An upside is vastly lower water requirements, since no transpiration.
And what's wrong with that?
It's not about using electric fields to direct plant growth; that's a different thing
