Re: Nanobot dangers - pollution


Certianly risks are massive in nanotech, but anyway you go are risks.
Tiny machines made of heavy metals getting in to the water would
probably be more of a risk than algea that can clean water.

Right now we are ruining the planet, filling it with so many heavy
metals, toxins, and CO2 that I see that the future economy will be more
than just green, in that it will try to make things will little waste,
but that the greatest demand will be clean up. I see nanobot cleaning
up our wastes of metals and other chemicals and forming in to solar
powered factories which may produce energy or other products from the
screw up we made, or just clean things up.

As for how we should make these machines, I think organic makes more
sense than inorganic, and that the energy systems designed for small
scale creatures, mostly solare power, make the most sense, though I am
also certainl that these little bots will have the ability to use the
masses of metal we have left around to build inorganic tools.

Any way you do it will be risky.
