This book explains how and where copper and fossil fuels were
formed and the likely future for the extraction of copper and coal.
The colourful chronology of our efforts to extract metals from
minerals and energy from fossil fuels is presented from earliest
times until the present day. The difficult concept of human
sustainability is examined in the context of continually decreasing
real prices of energy and metals. This book integrates the latest
findings on our historic use of technology to continually produce
cheaper metals even though ore grades have been decreasing.
Furthermore, it shows that the rate of technological improvement
must increase if metals are to be produced even more cheaply in the
future.
