2_thumbs_up, I can't agree with you, since you seem to be on third level thinking and i'm on first.
however, you maybe on to something there, for if we can arguable find a way to convert matter into what we need it to be, or more effective recycling without too much of it going for waste, we may have almost (!) infinite resources.
but as it is right now, immediate (except solar rays, and maybe hydrogen) resources are finite. that shit will run out and there will be trying times ahead.
