Current mining production of these metals is not even close to meeting demand. Current reported mineral reserves are also not enough in size. Most concerning is copper as one of the flagged shortfalls."

Before the video, here are a few screenshots from it. This one shows the principal metals needed for a wind and solar energy system and compares those requirements with actual pr…
