Some startups are trying to synthesize edible fats from non-biological feedstocks, using just energy, water, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen, through the Fischer Tropsch process.
Personally I’m more interested in seeing whether that can expand into just manufacturing hydrocarbons with excess solar energy, rather than synthetic food, but it’s still cool to see that people can do it.
You can’t fertilize crops with electricity, nor can you eat it
Making food from pure electricity would be a cool sci-fi thing

We’ll make our own carbon cycle. With blackjack. And hookers.
In fact, forget about the carbon.
