In my writing of this next short story, I really did exercise my poetic license to the point that I might get a healthy fine. I hope you all like it, though I know some will not. I think I will call it "Battle Field To Cradle". I plan to publish it shortly after this blog entry. And yes, it is TG, and with some spanking (my trade mark) and some chains and bondage along the way, though none of it is sexual, she just needs a bit of correction for a short time is all.
So, I keep thinking, and um sort of having this persistent vision and I don't know if I have simply had too much Dejon Mustard, or if I will use this in future stories. So, I keep having this vision where there are glass like areal highways all over my home town and that relieves the traffic jams. So, for you engineering types, or wanna bees like me, the material is 100 times as strong as steel, 1/10th the weight, can be clear or colored as is needed, and can be made without foundries or digging in the earth, so even a woman of breeding can make it with out mussing her skirts or becoming sooty.
Hmmm, I wonder if this material is possible? And yes, I have always been completely deprived of any LSD what so ever. :(
Much peace
Gwendolyn

Materials
Carbon nanotubes are close to fitting the bill. They aren't clear, though. Perhaps aggregated carbon nanorods (ACNR,) which is an artificial material made by compressing and heating buckminsterfullerine (C60.) It's stronger than diamond.
With a certain amount of handwaving, you can try using a variation on strange matter or neutronium. It would be extremely dense, but a foam made of the stuff could be made quite light.
the none impact sourcing would be a problem somewhere
If I remember right, the crew of the Enterprise described to a manufacture the formula for transparent aluminum which fit most of your bill of requests. As for no mining, unless you are planing on using energy to mater converters powered off a captured black hole or a mr fusion from back to the future, one would expect some source of mass, perhaps from asteroid mining.
