understanding the future, page-5

The reason why I'm excited about Vein Graphite is the future demand for it and how it can compete with China in the global market...

"Graphene is the future. Plain and simple.

It's 200 times stronger than steel, thinner than a sheet of paper, and more conductive than copper.

And that's not all...

Researchers the world over are using it for critical advances in a variety of industries. Graphene makes:

Solar – 50x-100x more efficient
Semiconductors – 50x-100x faster
Aircraft – 70% lighter

We're talking batteries that charge 10x faster and store 10x more power...

Phones and computer displays that bend and fold...

And even the potential to make people and things completely invisible.

Indeed, the Huffington Post notes graphene will “change the world.”

It's so vital to our future that it's been named a "supply critical mineral" and a "strategic mineral" by the United States and the European Union.

Yet only a few companies around the world have access to mineral resource that is required to make graphene. And 70% of supply is controlled by China.

So the setup is perfect for any non-Chinese supply to become an extremely lucrative investment, just like rare earths a few years ago." - Outsider Club, February 26th, 2014

Most important of all this is when Graphene ICs do finally take off we will have terahertz switching speeds and transistor densities in the tens-of-billions to look forward to.

How does this effect the demand for high-grade Graphite?

We are going to see consolidations and a mad scramble as the next wave/boom takes shape in my opinion. Obviously everyone should research for themselves:

Comparing companies and their positions and opinions can be very helpful in my opinion.
