As you must know by now, my nature is optimistic, particularly about our technological future, specifically as that relates to our use of oil for our energy needs. Over the last year, I have periodically written about various forms of alternative energy that are more than “pie-in-the-sky,” such as Dow Chemicals’ production and sale of affordable solar-producing roof shingles. If I write about it, it is happening.
Today, though, the excerpt below is not quite up to the standard I just mentioned; however, it is worth writing about because the science has been with us for some time, but the lack of infrastructure for delivery and safety issues have held it back.
A new technology that allows hydrogen to be stored in a cheap and practical way could make its widespread use as a carbon-free alternative to petrol a reality … The technology is based on a new way of producing nano-fibers from hydrides, materials that soak up hydrogen like a sponge and then encapsulating them in tiny plastic beads so small they behave like a liquid.
The latest developments, however, bring the science of hydrogen fuel right to the cusp of reality. As potentially beneficial the science of hydrogen fuel is, the more immediate point is that the technology making hydrogen fuel a potential replacement for oil is here now, and there are companies in which one can invest to make money today. I am talking about nanotechnology (nanotech).
Twenty years ago, the buzz was nanotech, nanotech this and nanotech that. Today, that buzz has transformed into out-and-out production of real and tangible nanotech products. There are numerous companies producing and selling nanotech products. As well, the ability to manufacture nanotech tools is flourishing. To give you an idea, check out the following link.

Folks, I have to tell you, the future is here now, and the sheer magnitude of information on the site I mentioned proves that nanotechnology is not only real, but it shows that one can trade or invest in the companies that are in the industry. True, some of the companies listed on the site are startups looking to enter the market, and many are “penny stock” companies looking to break out, but there are some names on the site that are highly recognizable, such as Samsung.
My point here is that the transformation I have been writing about for some time now is moving into a synergistic moment, the momentum is shifting, and with that shift so too will the big money flow. “Viability” and “sales” are key words that attract both entrepreneurial investors and market investors. The nanotech industry is viable and the sales are beginning to happen. So, turn on the light, check out the industry, and you just might find that opportunity is there, and by that I mean, “Thar’s gold in them thar hills.”
Trade in the day – Invest in your life …
