    There may be some resistance from manufacturers to adopt this tech change right away. Companies that have invested huge amounts of money in machinery and equipment to manufacture products using existing tech, will not want to scrap the lot and start again. Yes I agree it will be the future, but not starting now.

    It's a bit like the hydrogen fuel cells for vehicles. A great tech advance, but trying to get hydrogen storage into existing fuel stations is just not going to happen without billions and billions of dollars from the fuel companies, to refit there existing stations. It would affect profits negatively to rebuild all existing fuel stations. Like your comment about power co's not allowing cheap solar systems, it's about the profits of existing companies being strongly defended.

    Huge manufacturing companies will resist this change if they get the chance. New emerging companies may adopt this tech from the start as they don't need to scrap existing systems.



    Either way, it will be the consumer that pays, and nano tech won't be cheap for many, many years to come.
    I can only imagine the price of a couple of nano tech, graphene AA batteries for my remote, more than the stereo cost me
    Just my cynical 2 cents
