RE: A good read..What people fail to understand is that China is basically doing what North America did 100 years ago. Our use of copper soared for 40 decades. They are only 1 decade into it. People don't think about the fact that many countries had plumbing that worked and somehow over a thousand years civilizations forgot how to take care of it. In lot's of countries you can't flush toilet paper any more. Water pipes were made of copper because people knew about the healing properties and that it killed bacteria. Look at the state of China's water and sewer out side of cities. You quickly realize it will take decades to update it. Then there is the demographic shift driving urbanization. It's gigantic and no market fiddling will stop it. History is the tide of human testimony. The greatest prime mover of humanity is the social evolution. This social evolution is trending towards scientific living and as I said before it will be the driving wedge between the educated and everyone else. That gap is growing at an astounding rate. However, there is a deep layer of humanity that wants to be in that wave. I don't see anything stopping it. Not even a world war.
