The Australian copper play is the last gasp for copper. The Chilean leaching play is the last gamble. The drop in oil prices is designed to hurt the U.S. unless it comes around to the Saudi way of thinking about Iran.
Nice fantasy charts, now how about a touch of reality, you know, like real life.

The good news is that this reality will be ignored by progressives just as climate heating is ignored by the other side. It’s what we call a lose-lose situation.Generation WTF? This is complete nonsense. The people before boomers and after boomers are just a fucked up as everyone else. When I was a young survivalist in the 1970s, I thought my generation was going to change the world for the better. LOL!!!
Here’s why I don’t think that kind of stuff anymore.Do you know how much a cow weighs?
Did you want to know why the weight of a cow will kill all life on earth?
Diamonds are for heifers, mass extinction is forever.

► When we eat over 50%, catastrophic cascading mass extinction collapse starts.
► 50% of vertebrate species died off in the last 50 years.

► There are 6 reasons for Mass Extinction.
► Climate Change is only 1 of 6 reasons for mass extinction.
► Green Energy will not stop the end of life on earth.Anything hi-tech and green will soon cost too much again because of mineral, food and water shortages and then you will be stuck with energy poverty in 25 years as your green energy system breaks down. We need big existing power plants with uncaptured opensource carbon sequestration regulation until we can figure out how to get power from thorium, which is now the radioactive waste by-product from mining green hi-tech minerals. We go to war with the infrastructure we got and stop wishing for some new thing. We change current cars to ammonia or hydrogen instead of pining for electric wonder-cars we can’t afford. We mandate change through sheer force of will and goodness. The war is for the mind. We have to stop thinking that there is enough of everything for everyone and that we can just keep substituting elements for minerals because that will only become painfully more apparent over time. The funny part is that we throw away Thorium as radioactive garbage and keep the Rare Earth Elements to take sustainable selfies.
AFTER THE GAS BUBBLE
World energy demand is to increase 50% by mid-century when fossil fuels should decrease close to 80% by then to stave off run-away climate heating. To increase green energy 40% by 2050, we would need 200% more copper with current ore concentrations as low as 0.4%. We would need 150% more aluminum and 90% more iron at the same time it starts to cost too much money to send the trucks that far down into the pits.
https://arstechnica.com/science/2014/10/making-lots-of-renewable-energy-equipment-doesnt-boost-pollution/Ugo Bardi explains why mining ore grades below energy break even costs screws green energy up.
We can’t have hi-tech green energy without producing thorium as a costly radioactive waste usually discharged into tailings (lake sized) ponds. China is planning to get carbon free energy from thorium to pay for the minerals we need to produce our information green energy dreams.
https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=china%20thorium%20plansChina has produced over 6 gigatons of cement in the last 3 years.
U.S. has produced over 4 gigatons of cement in the last 100 years.
China’s banks have produced $15 trillion of debt in the last 5 years.
U.S. commercial banks have produced $15 trillion of debt in the last 100 years.
China plans to build 500 nuclear plants in 35 years.
China and India are in a crash course program to produce thorium energy forever to sell us computers, solar panels and wind turbines which wear out in 25 years.
Is it because Euro banks love lending to China?
China has used 6.6 gigatons of cement in the last 3 years
compared to 4.5 gigatons the USA has used in 100 years.
China’s banks created $24 trillion in debt since 2001.
China’s banks created $15 trillion in debt over 5 years.
It took all U.S. commercial banks 100 years to create $15 trillion in debt.
It took the whole U.S. economy 100 years to grow to $15 trillion GDP.
China has created the biggest financial bubble in human history.
This may be the big one and last one.HELP WANTED!
as the fracking bubble explodes out from the U.S. to China, China’s emissions will come down switching from coal to gas while America enters the poverty of unsustainable sustainable wind and solar power in a post gas bubble implosion. we now expensively treat inexhaustible thorium as radioactive waste while we extract the heavy rare earth elements our hi-tech sustainable energy needs. if we use thorium to pay for the sheer thermodynamic idiocy of green power, we perhaps have a chance to use thorium to clean up uranium. are we just too stupid to live? yes.
Klein and McKibben are Rockefeller funded stooges who want to give your carbon tax money to corporations and governments to save the planet, good luck with that.
if we hit peak fracking in stride with Naomi Klein’s throbbing divestment fantasies then the financial shit will hit the fan once and for all, thus:
NEVER MIND DIVESTMENT PORN!
first, we privatize carbon tax dividends
with no share for guvs and corps
with 100% private citizen direct deposit
in a new world e-currency valued with inverse
proportionality to atmospheric carbon.
This will eliminate national regulatory
asymmetries and capture.
because the whole world is watching.we regulate a new financial ponzi scheme openly
and honestly creating a banking system
valued on organic food and atmospheric carbon
priced in a new world electronic currency
all currency info openly stored on your phone.then we have to pursue a good nuclear policy
based on thorium and fusion.
this is the only way to counter peak resourcesi would rather fail than not try
i would rather fail than not tell you this
i’m a bit of a green-behind-the-ears dreamer that way
who cuts grass in a trailer park in CanadaThe Ultimate Growth Story
– 10,000 years ago, humans and livestock occupied 0.01% of all animal biomass
– Humans and livestock now occupy 97% of all animal biomass.
– Human population set for 10 billion by 2060
– Extinction growth set for 75% of all animals gone by 2065
– Temperature growth set for 6°C by 2070
– China’s debt grew from $1 trillion in 2001 to $25 trillion today
– Livestock demand set to grow
– Water shortages set to grow
– Food shortages set to grow
– Violence set to grow
– More Americans believe in zombie apocalypse than global heating.
– Relax, it’s not the end of the world.We used to sleep in groups.
Loneliness cure? Have kids.We need thorium reactors to pay for rare earth mining.
Failure is guaranteed, but you have to play to win.Life is simple.
We have destroyed 50% of animals in 50 years.
We will destroy 50% of remaining animals in 50 years.
That adds up to 75% of animals, which is the very definition of mass extinction.
Annalee Newitz thinks we will be “living” in self-healing cities during the mass extinction.
Climate change is only one of six reasons for mass extinction.
We are at peak mineral extraction, we cannot afford “green” energy for the world.
Several billion hungry, thirsty people will not be peaceful about their personal extinction.
Some small groups of people may survive underground for a while,
but who gives a fuck.Earth has lost 50% of its animals in 40 years.
Earth will lose 50% of its animals in 40 years.
75% of river life has been lost in 40 years.
Humans and livestock make up 97% of earth’s vertebrate biomass.
Humans and livestock consume 40% of earth’s annual green biomass.
Mass extinction becomes unstoppable and irreversible in about 40 years.
The World Bank said we will be fighting over food and water in 10 to 15 years.
I don’t think we should worry about money right now.
Solar and wind will not save us in time due to peak mining ROEI..
WHY THERE IS NO GREEN ENERGY
Our “green” energy hi-tech future requires:
► conflict minerals,
► rare earth elements,
► heavy metals,
► nano metals and graphite.
Search for “rare earth mining in China” on YouTube and see what special hell your solar panels and wind turbines produce in Mongolia. China can do this because they have undercut all the world’s production of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) with low wages, low currency and no environmental enforcement. They can do this because they ignore the radioactive thorium that comes with mining high-value, heavy rare earth elements. Rare earth elements can’t profitably be mined outside of China without using radioactive thorium, the mining by-product found with heavy rare earth elements. We can’t afford to mine REEs while treating thorium as radioactive waste instead of as a profitable energy source. Burning thorium will pay for heavy REEs and provide the low-carbon base power “green” energy requires.
.
Graphite is used in all of our so-called “green” powered batteries and is mined in China emitting deadly fine air particles resulting in a lethal smog that washes down from the skies in an ash laden rain that covers crops and water. China recently shut down several graphite mines because of the pervasive smog. Graphene, a nano-material produced for batteries, is water soluble and can cut through human/animal cells. Both graphite dust and graphene are deadly to humans because of their small size. You don’t want to breathe this stuff.

Solar cell manufacturing produces 3 green house gases that are over 10,000 times worse than C02. They require all kinds of deadly liquid acids to manufacture. Solar panels lose efficiency at the rate of 1% per year lasting 20-25 years. The expensive inverters they require have to be replaced every 5 to 10 years up to 4 times over the life of the panel. The new thin cell panels use nano materials and are even more toxic with shorter lifespans. It doesn’t matter how “clean” the latest experimental solar panels are because existing manufacturing plants will stay open to recoup major investments. Manufacturing just five wind turbines produces 1 ton of radioactive residue and 75 tons of toxic, acidic water used to leach out the required neodymium. Wind turbines only work at 25% of their rated capacity 90% of the time. Over 2 million children died in the Congo for the conflict minerals green energy needs. Thousands of people die in Chinese mines every year for the minerals green energy needs. Prof. Jian Shuisheng of the Jiatong-University estimates the production of just 6 solar panels requires one ton of coal. Since green power is intermittent, it would take at least 10 times the rated amount of “green” energy to displace just one equivalent unit of 24/7 fossil energy because your so-called 100 Watt solar panel delivers zero Watts at night and batteries are heavy toxic $energy hogs. One company in the U.S. cut down 5 acres of trees to build a solar farm to power a plant for the production of plastic bags. Green power will not be enough. Part-time energy and billions of batteries adds up to death to all life on earth just from destructive ecological inertia.Ozzie Zehner explains “Green Illusions”.
Tim Garrett explains why
► one dollar equals 10 milliwatts
► why we can’t decouple growth from emissions.
► why efficiency & conservation leads to more energy growth.

Did you know that the new $2 billion Ivanpah solar plant in the Mojave desert is a death ray that ignites birds in mid flight? When their bodies fall to the ground, they leave smoky trails in the sky called streamers. These birds are attracted to the bugs who are attracted to the shiny, pretty lights, just like us. It is estimated as many as 30,000 birds per year will die this way during huge migrations at just this one green power plant. Bigger solar plants of the same type are in the works including one near Joshua Tree, next to a wildlife sanctuary. During Ivanpah’s construction, up to 3,000 endangered desert tortoises suffered a temporary loss of legal protection and were allowed to be killed by heavy diesel equipment and materials. Thousands of slave workers die in China’s mines every single year to help produce the exotic minerals used in its construction. This is referred to as the “Green Economy”. If we changed the whole planet to green power, we would kill the earth we call home.
