This is goofy as hell.

  1. no, changing the way we all make popcorn (and just popcorn) will have no environmental impact.

  2. the energy saved in cooking is almost certainly offset by the manufacture of these single-purpose kitchen tools.

  3. unitaskers in the kitchen are just bad news all around. If it’s a machine that makes only one kind of food, it’s wasteful.

This MIGHT be intended for commercial scale. Though even then, it's literally the exact same popping method commercial poppers use, just using an IR heat source rather than a resistive heating element.

Also for home use, you can use a pan or metal bowl over your stove.
