Also, the article indicates the the price of CF is 20 times higher than steel, but the reduction is 90%. That means CF will still be TWICE the price of steel. So basically it means the manufacturers will use it more than they have been doing, but ultimately it's still more expensive... so why would they charge less?

Not only that, but it means that our insurance will be higher as the cost of replacement parts and labor will be more expensive. New technologies always cost more in the beginning, so maybe the price will become more competitive over time.
