yeah. as gaywallet said there is sequestering carbon but you may have seen studies using microbes or brewers yeast to deal with pollution and that is just the base organism. since cripr opens up genetic engineering we can take things that can sorta do stuff and increase how good they are at it. We could improve production of fuels and chemicals from biomass. possibly create biological power supplies. Think electri eel tuned to provide electricity. This is beyone that fact that it has the potential to cure any medical issue that is not straight out physical damage like a broken leg.
I mean Im going a bit pie in the sky but its a tool at this point so its just more engineering usage of it over basic research. So like we are coming into an age of genetic engineering whereas before crispr genetic engineering was at the level of fusion. We could do it but not very easily and with such specificity.

That’s amazing

Ah now I get it
