Exactly. From the lips of Newt on this subject.

The nano world also includes a series of material technology breakthroughs that will
continue to change how we build things, how much they weigh, and how much stress
and punishment they can take. For example, it may be possible to grow carbon storage
tubes so small that hydrogen could be safely stored without refrigeration, thus enabling
the creation of a hydrogen fuel cell technology with dramatic implications for the economy
and the environment. These new materials may make possible a one-hour flight from
New York to Tokyo, an ultra lightweight car, and a host of other possibilities. Imagine a
carbon tube 100 times as strong as steel and only 46th as heavy. It has already been
grown in the NASA Ames Laboratory. This approach to manufacturing will save energy,
conserve our raw materials, eliminate waste products and produce a dramatically healthier
environment. The implications for the advancement of environmentalism and the
irrelevancy of oil prices alone are impressive.
