If the complete supply chains for all the ingredients of the thing do not already exist and operate in the billions of dollars, it can't conceivably "solve" anything at global scale in under three decades. More likely, seven decades.

In the mean time, announcements like this serve mainly to keep us passive, waiting for the miracle.
