Well you'll have to pry my Ytterbium ('Yb',#70) from my cold, dead, hands!

This whole “sustainable development” movement is nothing but population control, in more than one meaning of the phrase. They want to reduce birth rates in order to make the population more controlABLE.
This is just another facet of that movement.
And, like you said, they will attempt to ban mining in order to restrict and control us more.
Lot’s of metal in UN buildings.
I’ve read extensive astrometric surveys that show that the moon is replete with Helium 3, but, alas, Bamster has decided that it’s not in our best interest to be in space anymore.
This is in response to the addendum of the article. Helium 3 is easily captured, stored, and returned to the Earth with the proper surveying and mining of the moon.
Why we’ve not returned since Apollo is beyond me!
Asteroids are chock full of Platinum, Palladium and other rare metals ore. Moon has lots of Titanium and Aluminum ore too.
I hear a distant moon called Pandora has a lot of Unobtainium too. ;)
Well... anything not recycled is being put in landfills, thereby collecting all these various elements in one place. Recycling is good, but figuring out how to recover materials from landfills would yield eventually near 100% recycling. It can’t be much harder than strip mining. :-)

Who's Afraid of Synthetic Biology? Don't let fears about frankenmicrobes halt promising research.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
mining rights to landfills?
this is becoming like the world of “Cherry 2000”
Who can forget November, 2008, when morons were finally quantified?
Leave it to the “experts” at the UN to not have enough data to make an informed decision and still make a decision.
Amazing and that’s not even mentioning the history or natural resources - they never run out!
Anything that is ‘scarce’ begs ‘control’. Convenient. No solution unless they take it and divvy it up among ‘friends’.
The same ol’ template.
in the UN world the desert has a shortage of sand.
Aye, Cap’n.
Supplies of speciality metals like lithium, neodymium and indium could become restricted unless recycling rates improve.
Fortunately, the U.S. has one of the world’s largest and richest Rare Earth deposits at Molycorp Minerals’ facility in Mountain Pass, California. At Mountain Pass we are producing certain Green Elements and plans are in place to bring the facility back into full production following an extensive modernization and expansion project. With appropriate federal assistance for research, development and capital costs, Molycorp Minerals is prepared to move forward to reestablish domestic manufacturing capacity on an expedited basis.
Thanks for the ping/post; thread. UNaccountable bureaucrats scheming new BS to justify their existence. Eliminate all UNaccountable collectives.
