- Great material for greenhouses! From the page: "ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) is the building material of the future. This wonder polymer, a transparent plastic related to Teflon, is replacing glass and plastic in some of the most innovative buildings being designed and constructed today. Its selling points? Compared to glass, it's 1% the weight, transmits more light, is a better insulator, and costs 24% to 70% less to install. It's also resilient (able to bear 400 times its own weight, with an estimated 50-year life-span), self-cleaning (dirt slides off its nonstick surface), and recyclable."

- Neato! But ask yourself this: does BusinessWeek get kickbacks from reporting this propaganda? Maybe glass manufacturers don't advertise with BusinessWeek, so the magazine doesn't extol the virtues of glass.
