Anything nano-size needs nano-power. Solar panels? Chemical batteries? Small nuclear plant? In the end, thermodynamics saves us from grey goo. And if you try to co-opt a biological process for fuel, say ATP, then your nano-bot is a tasty treat for other organic bacteria who have evolved over a billion years to compete and eat in this sector. |

Small machines all designed to do small different jobs. then you'd get currents of grey good just supplying power because you have currents of grey goo proving "food" to them because you'd have currents of grey goo disassembling everything around them to provide food and materials to currents of grey goo that make the different sorts of grey goo needed to perform all the previous steps.
I feel that "grey goo" gets used as a descriptor for one thing... when i reality it would be lots of different sorts of things.
having said that, I think we're a loooong way form having to be worried about that as well.
