We went to the copper cookie jar.
We took a lot of cookies out.
But here's the thing.
We added 900 million tons into reserves.
So we were at the copper cookie jar.
We kept going back, but it's fuller.
than it was when we started.
And that's the thing that to get your head around how the world's gonna work, you have to get your head around the idea that the thing that makes the world work is improvement.
And in fact, copper reserves are actually doubling about every 30 years or so.
We're pretty good at finding ways.
Think about the biggest copper mine in the world, Escondida, which is in Chile, has just lasted much longer and had many, much more copper than anyone thought.
Why?
Well, we got better at digging it up and better at processing it.
So stuff we thought used to be on the waste pile,
is now in our homes and in our cars.
So that's a pretty incredible thing.
And the thing that brought it home to me was early on in this book, just before release, I did a practice presentation to this group of people that didn't know me, had some really smart people.
And when I was doing this talk, one person raised their hand.
He was a very eminent biologist, a scientist.
He said, Chris, you don't understand how science works when you have a Petri dish.
