#3 Sounds like how the USSR bankrupted itself - no free markets and limited international trade > Commie Socialist Big Govt used up many if its domestic natural endowments. Proved their supp for Enviro agendas by wiping out various Seas but being unable to afford the cleanup or any cleanup in favor of nuclear parity with the USA-NATO. THe "SHARP SWORD" of force and intimidation always came first with the Ultra-Left, NOT AND NEVER UNIVERSAL DEMOCRACY OR LIBERTARIANISM. Might as well been BIG UNIONS here in the USA!?

#4 This is a particularly ignorant piece. Aluminum is the most abundant metal on the surface of the earth and I believe Iron is the second most abundant. I can state categorically there will not be a 'peak' in production of any of these metals cause by declining availability of ore, although costs may increase as lower grade ores are used, but even that is far in the future on a global basis.
