Sure, there is a need to keep abreast with technology. In our case, graphene is a potential offshoot of graphite. Let's assume that graphene is proven to be the wonder material which can change our lives in a significant way...and we can mass produce it. So, only 1 cubic metre of graphite would be needed to produce a layer of graphene to cover the entire globe, then what? A few questions for discussion purposes:

- presumably we will need to find some use for the graphene? (to make money).

- since only a small amount of graphite would be needed, what would we do with the tonnes and tonnes of the high quality graphite that companies like ZEN would try to produce to sell @ $8500/tonne, or more?

- what would be the business model for company like ZEN to follow to make some money for us during the next 1,2, or 3 years?

Two potential paths:

(a) stay the course, keep the current approach in its demonstration that Albany graphite can compete with synthetic, and is suitable for making EV battery to entice company like Tesla and/or its partner to take us over, with an offer say $10/s, or

(b) chase the graphene potential for the next 10 years?

My choice would be (a), since it would take another 10 years or more for people to figure out how to make money (lots of it) with graphene applications.
