An all electric world will need a lot more copper. Buy copper mining stocks and look to become a mining engineer for a copper mining company if you are a youngster.

Welcome to the Exponential Age. We've all grown up in fat times, but the author is writing about a dawn of plenty exceeding anything imaginable even in the very recent past. We seem to be approaching a situation that John Adams foresaw a while back: I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain. Now, how to insure the widest distribution of all this new manna? Experience suggests it's not a great idea to just pass the goodies out free. Depriving most of the satisfaction of earning their own way has a rotten track record. The forty hour week, or thereabouts, is almost sacrosanct, but rapidly approaching obsolescence. How to approach this conundrum? What to do? Rely on the wisdom of anointed godlings, or shove them the hell out of the way and let Smith's higgling of the marketplace sort this out? I'd prefer the latter, but fear the wisdom therein is not apparent to most. Tough sledding ahead!
