As presciently predicted by me, so the moai culture begins. Converting oil to gold: Kilometres per ounce could be a unit of value of gold: <350-450 km radius of where the material was dug up
(vii) should the chinese find an especially wealthy vein of oxide gold, they would be happy but not happiest, because such gold is the appetizer they cannot partake unless they work w/ the new lords of domain, three boyz who have taken possession of the only mill w/i 750 km of where they are >
Fortunately for you, salvation is at hand. I shall free you from the harsh, remote, less pretty cheerleaders, and expensive work of digging for gold. While you scrabble in the dirt looking for found wealth, mobile Cyberspace burgeons apace creating wealth. Note that Apple, the gloriest of the most gloriful of all companies which ever existed, and they are just one of many, are not smelting steel, melting gold, digging rock, welding ships, planting crops, harvesting trees, building houses or any of the other millions of enthusiasms of the bygone era.
Car culture is dimming in young men's minds, soon to be finished by Google's autonomous cars beetling around town. Mobile Cyberspace culture is burgeoning with seething hordes amassing.
As you mentioned, it's not as though you will be mining for 100 years. 2 years from now, moai culture will almost certainly still be building as entitlement meets refusenik, government bludger meets brick wall, human slugs like Box, Brasco, and swarms of ilk come to their well-deserved denouements. There will no doubt be keen buyers so you can move on to more useful things just in time to avoid the collapse as my secret plans take over.
Meanwhile, your enthusiasm for photovoltaics was short-lived and now the industry is plunging to demise as expected and presciently predicted. Made in China has cut prices below dumping level and now 70% of the producers will be dumped with vast loads of investment going down the gurgler. Contrary to expectations and hopes, CO2 is still just plant food, with governments and populations losing interest in Doomster theology since the man in the street was being expected to pay for the new world order for the enjoyment and profit of Al Gore, his second chakra and their acolytes.
