Graphene Is Just This Decade's 'Carbon Nanotubes'

Graphene is the 2010's version of 2000's "carbon nanotube."

I swear...I wish I had a dollar for every article announcing a new theoretical game-changing technology that relies on as-yet-unmanufacturable graphene sheets.
In just the last 14 days:
Graphene could make high-efficiency desalinization filter
Graphene could work in transistors in high-frequency electronics
Graphene could transform DNA sequencing
Graphene could efficiently transform light into power
Graphene antennas could yield high-power wi-fi
Graphene could make batteries obsolete
Graphene could make invisibility cloaks possible for the military

I wish I was making those headlines up, but the above popped up when I Google searched "graphene could" and limited my search to the last 14 days. And there were several more but I got bored.
Here's the truth:

Graphene could get a Post-doc some research funding right now, as the DoD, NSF and NIH are interested in it. That's all there is too it. Dream up ridiculous possible claims, build a little press buzz with some preliminary data, and then get a grant and find out that the technological hurdles to move from benchtop prototype to manufacturing are - just like carbon nanotubes - completely overwhelming.
