I can't agree with that.

There are a *lot* of things in this world that are depletable resources --- but I see no need to 'ban' them for that.

Market forces will raise their costs (as scarcity occurs) and the 'substitution effect' will come into play.

People won't develop substitute technologies until the profit incentive is right.

(Like one wag famously said: "the cure for $100 a barrel oil is $100 a barrel oil.")
