Get Ready! Dash for $10 Trillion of Metals For Energy Transition Starts Now (Copper, Aluminum, Lithium, Silver, Rare Earths)

Get ready! The mad dash for metals is here!

Copper set to be most valuable opportunity in race to net zero Electric vehicles and wind turbines are main demand drivers.

Rising demand for energy transition metals is essentially a given at this point. The real question is whether there will be enough supply. As things currently stand, lots of these metals, including copper and cobalt, are at risk of a shortfall in the coming decades unless current reserves can be supplemented with new geological discoveries and projects, and recycling of old material is stepped up.

Many countries have known resources of metals – in other words, natural occurrences of minerals in high concentrations and sufficient quantities. But not all of these resources have been turned into reserves that can be profitably mined yet. This requires time and investment to go through the exploration, discovery and feasibility stages, and these processes could be thwarted by policy.

Here are metals today.

So, people get ready! Whether you agree with green energy policies or not, it is where markets are headed. Personally, I am sticking to my gasoline guzzling cars until I am ordered not to drive them. Stated differently, if Joe Biden can drive a gas guzzling V-8 in a Chevy Corvette, why can’t I?

At least I didn’t leave classified documents in my garage.

Biden, Kerry, Bloomberg, Hollywood elites. All scream about cutting fossil fuel consumption by US, not them. But they are making the rules. Sadly.

The truth finally comes out.

We all knew that there was a long con to this manufactured crisis.

Let’s expose Congress members’ fiscal holdings annually in publicly available mandated reports and see who’s gaining.

And mining for those metals will not be anymore "environmentally friendly" than fossil fuels.

Not to mention the child slave labor used in the third world to mine some of those key elements.

But, this is all about power and control for the elite as they implement their population control policies and steal our God given freedoms.

Swell. Folks with second homes, vacation homes etc, better check their copper pipes and wiring when they get to,their camps or homes as copper theives will be attacking soon as the price skyrockets.

That rush started years ago. If you haven’t bought in...you are just reacting to a ploy to get your cash.

Check out where China mines. That is where the Rare Earth Minerals are. We are soooo behind the curve on this stuff it could be considered a crime.

And I can’t wait to be driving on an interstate and watching burning cars zipping past, and stranded on the side of the roadways. At least the owners will be able to keep warm though if their vehicles burst into flames, as long as the fire lasts. Can’t wait for the co start power outages too. That’ll be super fun to deal with night after night. But don’t worry, they assure us that “renewable energy” like offshore windmills Will keep the nation going... as long as the windmills dont collapse like,they have been.

Dead whales becuzse the windmills are disrupting their communications and navagation of egales and sea critters and such? Meh, not a problem the left assure us despite increasing numbers being found d dead and beached. Dead eagles and owls and other protected species? Pffft, no problem- the msm simply won’t report on them so it will be just like it’s not happening.

Is this picture an African “Where’s Waldo?” puzzle?

There always is. Funny how the leftist agenda always benefits the elites.

I recently saw a report of an electric car catching on fire. It took the fire department 6,000 gallons of water to put it out, per the report.

I’m not sure where Magnatron found that picture, but Tucker Carlson had a segment on his show the other night about the search for minerals that go into an EV battery. He flashed up pictures of hundreds of people “mining” for the elements, and the picture was every bit as gruesome as this picture. This picture could very well be from Tucker’s show.
