Roughly you are going to have a hundredfold increase in the demand for copper and nickel. I own a lot of copper mines, so I don't have a great problem with the ambitions of renewable energy . Existing mines are already at full capacity.

The original statement was "there are not enough raw materials in the world" - that's not a statement about mining. How much of this stuff is there to mine in the first place and are mines likely to be exhausted, or do we have more than we could realistically hope to need?
