- jackyinger 7y agoI don’t want to be a jerk, but many material processes that have enabled us to make better performing materials has been directly related to investing more energy into a raw material. Take for example, iron vs. steel, cast vs forged, wood vs. carbon fiber. So I will be surprised if the future is a huge departure from history.
