b'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'
