What do you think of Carbon nanotubes?
I think carbon nanotubes are great. They have many benefits, such as being strong and light. However, there is a downside. Let us look at the industry using them now for automobiles.
The carbon nanotubes are not cheap, and need to be manufactured. The manufacturing is harmful to the environment.
There is a lot of pollution, and it can't be recycled. For example, in the manufacturing process of carbon nanotubes for cars , the tubes are formed over large metal blocks. The metal blocks cannot be reused.
So, the carbon nanotubes are made from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are not good for the environment.
Also, the carbon nanotubes need to be melted down in order to put them into a mold. So there is a lot of energy wasted.
So, carbon nanotubes are not that great after all. They have a lot of problems.
