    It’s not the first of its kind though. It’s just the first in Africa. There are already a bunch of these in Europe and America.

    If the researchers are in Europe then it doesn’t work for the plant to be in Africa. I don’t know why you’re arguing such an obviously wrong position lol

      Yeah scratch the first of its kind, wasn’t thinking when I wrote that. Nevertheless, my point stands. For the technology to grow and develop we need PoCs to be constructed. Valuable data can be obtained from operating the PoCs that we wouldn’t otherwise get.

      If the researchers are in Europe then it doesn’t work for the plant to be in Africa.

      In this age where everything is networked and teams can be distributed worldwide, what in the world does it matter if the plant is in Africa? If anything, it would be encouraging knowledge transfer and dissemination.

      In most online discussions, that’s exactly how the other person feels about you. We generally keep it civil by not saying it out loud, though.
