Great idea! What about mobile robot 3D printers that can build entire buildings and urban infrastructure from existing garbage?
HAS FOLLOW-UP CARDS!
Very cool technology, openthefuture! Embedding sequestration in current industrial processes is a great way to scale up very quickly.
Eliminating air pollution by 2020 through zero-emission fuels and deployment of active carbon & particulate sequestration substrates.
HAS FOLLOW-UP CARDS!
Brilliant bottle idea! GlobalTap would be a great partner for this—public water bottle refill stations: http://www.globaltap.org/
Could you make these coatings for windows too? They could provide views if humans are present, and shift to most efficient color otherwise
HAS FOLLOW-UP CARDS!
What sectors in the chemistry field will these innovations come from? Industry? Academia? Military? Gov't? Where should roboticists look?
HAS FOLLOW-UP CARDS!
Which energy sources are you thinking of here & what time horizon? I love your optimism, but how do we hedge against continued scarcity?
What type of fertilization techniques are you thinking of here? Could there be new robotics tools involved in distribution/application?
Sounds really interesting! How do these work exactly? What are they being employed to produce or power?
HAS FOLLOW-UP CARDS!
How could chemical tools & robotics actually eliminate the Great Plastic Garbage Patch? Dissolve? Recycle? Repurpose? New Atlantis?
How do u ensure this is more eco-friendly than more durability, recycling or reuse? (thinking of disposable cell phones & terminator seeds)
