    Where would all of that money or value go when/if humanity finally switched to renewables? Nature has cracked photosynthesis long ago. We should be able to do similarly sooner or later .

      Actually, our solar power plants are way more efficient than photosynthesis. We just need a lot more power than nature

      good question. my bet is aluminum production would go up, because it’s frankly a nice material to work with, has excellent properties in many fields, and if electricity becomes cheap/clean, then there’s nothing stopping the aluminum world-domination.
