The article contradicts itself here:
> "And yet, at a projected cost of $450 million, GFI’s facility ..."
> " cultured protein is going to be even 10 percent of the world’s meat supply by 2030, we will need 4,000 factories like the one GFI envisions ..."
> "Each of those facilities would also come with a heart-stopping price tag: a minimum of $1.8 trillion ..."
The last sentence is clearly a mistake -- the 4,000 factories in total would cost $1.8 trillion. Thus replacing all meat with those would cost $18 trillion -- less than 20% of the world's GDP. So clearly feasible, but still not realistic.
