I forget nothing. The materials you quote come from the past. None of them will be used in their current forms or in their current quantities as they have in the past. The future is not built on the past. The future merely borrows some ideas from the past. If cost is all, then the claims you're making won't stand up and neither will any of the materials currently used. They're built on the cost of fossil fuels. Fossil fuel usage in scale won't even last another 50 years. It will be replaced by controlled nuclear fusion. This cheap energy will change the cost equation away from materials of the past because cost will no longer be the critical criterion. Utility will. This has been the trend in history. The main source of power and materials will be sea water. Something like what we now call seaweed will be grown in large in-sea hydroponic gardens, harvested, and fabricated into materials far stronger than steel. Power comes from the ocean's large quantities of deuterium. Another major change will be seen in semiconductors which have already dramatically changed the world. They're made of sand. So you have sun, sand, and seawater, upon which the new world will be built.
