Recent reports from the U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization have highlighted a discouraging food-deficit theme. A worldwide lithium shortage is predicted to occur as early as 2025. Pessimists have written about shortages of lithium, cobalt, and copper, but this is seen as a failure of what we're able to find. The ravenous American appetite for minerals could lead to severe shortages in the next few decades unless resources are conserved.
