You mean to let loose a completely new form of pollution - one that self-replicates and mutates into things we've not planned for - that's likely to become an indestructible widespread weed across great swathes of our arable land?

And that we have to obliterate large amounts of wild land and the life it supports to grow this crop (current food land will still be needed for food; in fact more of it, as oil fertilisers/pesticides become expensive and yeidls drop)?

And all so we can keep driving a ton of metal with us every time we want to go somewhere?

I think I'd be likely to be in the 'no' camp.
