Bill Gates will eat the real thing anyway.
Edit: this comment is not about Bill Gates. It's not even about butter.

Sound like coal butter, which existed in WW2 but was discontinued because of inefficiency.
And the most important question: how does it taste?
No the most important question is how much energy does it take?
[...] they take carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water, [...]
So direct air capture, instead of industrial waste CO2, good luck with that.

If Bill Gates is involved we can be sure it's to help humanity, and not to help capitalists and rich people to get richer.
He has a very good PR team because this man was also backing the former Monsanto company, with proprietary grains, supposed to help solve famine in the world, but causing poor farmers to be sued into bankruptcy and commit suicide. Oh and the grains also commit 'suicide' so if you are not sued because the wind flew proprietary grains to your field, you better have enough money to buy new grains from corporations every year.
So I'm sure anything he does can't be bad. It's all altruistic and for the good of humanity. Surely nothing proprietary there. All open source. For humanity.
Fuck Bill Gates.
He's also on the Eipstein list.
Sure, if you want to call a hydrocarbon like methane "carbon" I guess. Why not.

Anything but stop polluting...
We could cut our carbon emissions? NO, no! This is an opportunity for profits! We can use this to squeeze just that bit more money out of people and it sets us up nicely to replace real butter when the total collapse of the ecosystem means that real dairy becomes an impossible luxury.
So, how's that work on bread made from sand coming along?
Replacing a large amount of agriculture, which produces a lot of emissions, could potentially cut emissions.

The planet can be saved! We just need to eat CO2 HO butter.
Did you eat your butter quota today? Do your part!

I can't believe it's not butter.
"Butter made from carbon"
Isn't that what we had for thousands of years?
