One problem I have with the person claiming that we will not have bulk NanoTube materials is that they seem to think all research is for thier use in beanstalks only. Ofcourse if this was true the amount of money and people devoted to the problems would be few indeed.
However the uses of such super materials is so wide that tens if not hundred millions of dollars a year are being spent because of the range of uses. Just about anytime that today is done with fiberglass or carbon firber structures could be done light and/or lighter with Nano materials. And a number of projects that today seem to be at the limits or even beyond the ability of present day technology become possible (IE a bridge link japan's islands).
There is plain too much money to be made by the successful producter of bulk Nano materials to believe that if it can be done that the method needed will be discovered.
