Please do tell me which "minerals" we are lacking for the renewable transition. Did you even read the Hydrogen Ladder? Fertilizer sits at the top as "must be hydrogen based with no real alternatives". It is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonize since we need to get the price of renewable based fertilizer to be equivalent of todays fossil based one. Then just typical degrowth. Maybe we should cull the top 10% of the world? Starting with you and me?

Copper, for one. Go have a look at what kind of overhaul to the global transmission grid's required to meet projected growth and get back to me with your prospectus for mining the asteroid belt. Ironically individuals in highly specialized economic niches living in high tech societies are going to have it a lot worse than more self-sufficient agrarian arrangements so odds are yeah, you and me, after the water wars have done their work globally of course.
