I saw an article with the same exact premises back in 2010…
Same people working on it? Was it real back then? Is it real now? Will it ever be real?
You decide! On EPIC PLANT BIOLUMINESCENCE OF HISTORY!!!

Yeah, I saw a documentary years ago where bioluminescent trees (as streetlights) were presented as a near fact.

New ScientistGlowing trees could light up city streets | New ScientistA new genetic toolkit should make it easy to give bacteria and even plants the ability to glow – they'll make great street lightsReplying to @Gsus4@mander.xyz
Saw the same documentary and there was a bird in one of those trees and nobody mentioned that it was most likely a government drone. Really makes you think about what passes for a credible source these days
