"What the hell are we gonna do when we run out of metals and oil?" I'll be headin' for the hills. Isn't ethanol a form of alchohol? Couldn't I just round up my hillbilly relatives and their friends, and start crankin' up their stills to full capacity? For the public good, of course. Now metals, that's another story.

I have felt for years now, the thesis of your article lies n the ability to form a mental image of just how large exponetial metals consumption will be given almost infinite liquidity and modern social and financial vehicles to increase consumption. I think most people are not thinking large enough. Simple equation: it is a lot easier to create liquididty than get a mining permit for Kensington ergo we seem to be consuming much more metal than we can supply. As to the comment why aren't prices higher--they seem pretty damn high to me-lol. I think onepath was the first person I heard coin the concept 2nd industrial revolution. So whereas some people are focused on gold rising in the face of a desparate dollar weakness, others are concentrating on the quickly diminishing supply of all commodities. The 6.5 billion people are doing some massive consumption-lol. Why only own 1 car when you can own 5, and only eat one steak when you can afford two, or spned the afternnon at Macdonalds.-lol. And of course it needs to be consummed while wearing lots of jewlry and surrounded by myriad technology.
