Pretty cool...could see some new industries popping up with this one...as well as improvements in many products/machines/etc.

How does this one play into the Carbon Footprint Tax proposal?

ahh

How does this one play into the Carbon Footprint Tax proposal?

I do my best to find something to post with no political undertone, and Hammy tries to bring out the fight in me.

Dude! That was a joke! Lol

LOL. It is silly season. What I found interesting is that they referred to "Conventional Composite". When I was going through my education at ERAU we always referred composites as the new thing and older structures were conventional.

OH!

Dude! That was a joke! Lol

Anyway, I suppose the whole deal would depend on the manufacturing process, when it's developed. If this stuff could replace even of a portion of the copper and steel that we use (the price of which is soaring as the world uses greater quantities), it could actually help the environment a bit...possibly by less intense mining and, oh no, deforestation.

I certainly wouldn't know. But the thought of better computers, better guns, better cars, buses, jets, etc. sounds interesting, at least.
