We may be entering an age of wonder materials that save the planet.\n\nHigh-quality carbon nanotubes made from carbon dioxide in the air break the manufacturing cost barrier\n\n\u201cThe most valuable material ever sold\u201d\n\nCarbon nanotubes are super-materials that can be stronger than steel and more conductive than copper. So despite much research, why aren\u2019t they used in applications ranging from batteries to tires?\n\nAnswer: The high manufacturing costs and extremely expensive price, according to the researchers.\n\nThe good news:\n\nHigh-quality carbon nanotubes at a low cost.\n\nCarbon Nanotubes have a huge variety of potential applications for energy, medicine, industry, consumer devices. https://bit.ly/2GRLALW\n\nAnd we\u2019re only just beginning to figure out what they\u2019re good for. Make them widely available at a low cost and there\u2019s no telling what people will figure out to do with them.\n\nMore Good News:\n\nIn this process, the carbon comes straight from CO2 in the atmosphere. A \u201cgold rush\u201d for CO2 would have the geoengineering benefit of reducing atmospheric carbon. A self-funded way to mitigate climate change?\xa0\xa0\n\nPotential Downside:\n\nWhat id the gold rush goes on and sucks too much CO2 out of the atmosphere. Could it trigger an ice age?\xa0\xa0\n\n\xa0\n\nWT 444-757\n\nEternity Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) | Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\n\nImage from Pixabay.com
