This is concerning for us all. We are not seeing the effect of it right now but our future generation will observe it for sure. This is the reason the world is trying to find an alternative, eco friendly source of power. Electricity is the most valuable innovation in our lives, and most of the minerals are related to generating electricity or somehow being used by it. So if we can manage to use solar power or ocean current to generate power like electricity then other minerals consumption to produce electricity, will be reduced.
Renewable energy is something that humans in the world must adopt as soon as possible because it is true that fossil fuels are limited. limited coal - limited natural gas - limited petroleum, but unlimited solar light, unlimited wind, unlimited geothermal and unlimited water. However, each country has different human resources so adopting renewable energy is quite difficult. There needs to be a breakthrough from influential communities to accelerate education and adoption of renewable energy.
