Obviously you're using a computer, which equates to use of electricity, and therefore coal burning. So you can't be all that better than us. ]]>Dec 30th 2007 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/He was quoting Agent Smith, The Matrix (1999)]]>Dec 30th 2007 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/Jan 6th 2008 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/

Forgive me if I take that with a grain of salt. Who is claiming this, anyway? Is it perhaps The Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Germany?]]>Dec 30th 2007 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/Dec 30th 2007 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/Dec 30th 2007 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/Dec 30th 2007 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/Dec 30th 2007 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/]]>Dec 30th 2007 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/30/graphene-could-be-used-in-creating-solar-cells-lcds/
So, anyone who thinks indium will run out in 10 years must also believe that zinc and copper will run out in the same time frame. Not likely.

Most likely what they were TRYING to say is that the demand for indium will far outstrip the supply in 10 years. (since the output of indium is directly tied to the output of copper and zinc, unless indium were to go up in value by 100x).

Not a big deal since the LCD industry uses 60% of all indium production right now and their growth rate is phenomenal, but they are very close to qualifying alternatives like aluminum-zinc-oxide for the TCO layer, at which point the demand for indium would drop significantly, only to pick up again as thin film solar (CIGS) replaces the demand.
