coated a gold nanowire
Sounds interesting AG.


I was just about to PM you with a copy of this post. I figured this would be of interest to you.

It is true that nano-wires do not require a lot of metal. So, the battery price should compete favorably with lithium ion, considering the vast charge cycle range.
This technology, if not suppressed by the
fossil fuel fascists 
, will move GOLD up so high in DEMAND in the industrial sector (where the money manipulators CANNOT GAME the price) that the intrinsic value of that precious metal will be BOOSTED mightily by it's industrial metal status, above and beyond electrical contacts and such.

As you know, ALL industrial metals CAN be
recycled indefinitely without new mining efforts. So, the use of gold nanowires to help provide battery storage for electric powered houses, cars ,ships, trains, trucks and aircraft to eliminate the need for ALL internal combustion powered vehicles permanently would certainly be sustainable as well as being cost effective.
Gold mining, hopefuly, will be done in a more sustainable way to keep up with demand.

The fossil fuelers will sniff and say, "
This Quantum jump in battery storage technology is not ready for prime time".
Yes it is! Battery technology like this can be scaled up in a couple of years BECAUSE the battery manufacturing infrastructure
has already been pioneered with the lithium ion factories all over the world. The doped nano-wires, once any bugs in the assembly process are ironed out, can change our transportation picture in less than a decade!

This is BIG! This is HUGE! And, of course, people like you with a nice gold stash are going to do quite well.
