Will there come a time when we actually run out of minerals ? Debates soar over how we are going to obtain energy without oil, coal and gas. But what about the other minerals losses ? Without metals and semi)conductors, how to keep our industrial system running ? Without mineral fertilizers and fuels, how are we going to produce the food we need ?
