People will act like this material doesn’t work, but there is nothing high tech or unproven about this.
We have had the capacity to scale bioplastics for decades. We just use petroplastics because oil corporations control governments.
James Fishback may not win the race for Florida’s Governor because Floridians aren’t ready for America First.

Senior Software Quality Engineer.
More than 15 years of quality engineering experience.
