Better and cheaper fuel cells will get us into the hydrogen economy and reduce the burning of carbon fuels. These new fibers are something that can help save the world.

This is the key point in spreading out the use of nanotech, to drive down the price beforehand. Good move here, very encouraging news. “so far, the expense of producing them has consigned them to a few high-end, niche applications”.
