[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5134156, member: 24302"] That's simply not so. Most silver today is produced as a byproduct of mining other metals, particularly copper. Large stand alone silver deposits are almost non existent today. The process for finding and mining new silver deposits is much much more difficult than finding oil. And the current demand is eating up what is being produced now. There's simply not enough silver in the world to electrify all cars. Not even half of all cars. If the world intends to completely get rid of ICE cars then personal vehicle transportation will become the toys of the wealthy. You're much more likely to get the masses on electric bikes than in electric cars. Public transportation will have to greatly increase. It's not a matter of what anyone wants. It's a matter of an insurmountable lack of supply. Unless they come up with an alternative fuel source like hydrogen that meets clean air standards and is in plentiful supply then there's no viable alternative to ICE cars that will allow the masses to own cars.
