He’s just watched too much Star Trek.

Many people need training in economics to have a better understanding why some things, like electrifying society,can’t work. For starters, there is just not enough copper for all that wiring needed or sand for theoretical zero resistance wiring. There also the lack of recognition that hydrocarbon byproducts is 100% recyclable by nature.

Land reserves of copper could supply enough to build four EV’s for every person on earth. Vast amounts of copper also exits in our oceans.

23% of copper usage is from recycled copper.

80% of mined copper mined is still in use.
