Re: Not going to happen
"Much like we currently have with oil, the limit is not how much exists in the Earth's crust, but in how much people are willing to pay to extract it."
With oil, another way to look at the costs of extraction is the return on the energy expended. If it takes more energy to extract the oil to use it as a form of energy, that's going to end badly. If the oil is being extracted to turn it into products such as plastic, epoxy, fertilizer, herbicide, medicine or thousands of more things, that's where financial considerations come into play.
