Like no-one will buy an expensive TV instead of going to the cinema or listening to the radio?
Where did you get the $10,000 figure from? Assuming it's true, how long does it take for an average company to spend $10,000 on a printer/ copier/ FAX, including paper?
Xerox make printers and photocopiers too remember.
Yes, it might go nowhere. I'd like to see an energy balance equation comparing the "well to wheel" energy costs of producing a piece of the stuff vs ordinary paper, and another equation quantifying the energy costs of using said paper a second time.
This stuff might have an EROI as bad as corn for ethanol.
Have you been watching the price of petrol increase in your country, and not once think about how this might be a clue that cheap energy has gone away for a long time now?
