I didn't even think that far, both minerals and non-renewable energy
sources are exhaustive, so my question more or less was: what's
exhausted first?
Eventually both will need to be 'renewable'.
Which reminds me of a little strange idea I had:
Get the people to strive for renewability instead of profits.
Competition for something worthwhile that benefits everyone, doesn't it
sound nice? :)
