    Scarcity is contextual and technology is a resource liberating force
-Aluminum was the most valuable metal on the planet, until electrolysis made it abundant. -- I hope that he's right in this analogy of aluminum as it relates to our current energy fiasco. There are organizations that will kill, loot, pillage and maim to keep any new, sustainable sources from emerging.

I wonder if this existed when Aluminum was becoming a fabricatable metal?
