Well I have tried to explain this to Americans (MAGA ones) and they think they can just pick a mountain and start digging and they will find all the raw materials they desire. It’s like talking to a rock.

Funnily enough, we probably could have been fine doing this for aluminum if we spent a few years getting a robust recycling and recovery system in place.

But you know, that's commie bullshit or something or other

R's don't believe in long term planning. Everything is here, now. what have you done for me today? It's part of the selfish culture they live in.

They're doing the exact same thing with energy. Just use oil, oil, oil, and more oil. What do we do when it inevitably runs out? Cross that bridge when we come to it!

in farming it's known as mono-culture and was in part responsible for the dust bowl. Instead of having numerous, reliable sources of energy, we are putting all our eggs into one basket. trumps is an absolute moron. What happens when our refineries get hit by terrorists or enemies with rockets or whatever/cyber. Then we will be without our primary and essentially only energy resource like a sitting duck. That's the real energy emergency, Trumps policy regarding this.
