Matt Watsons says that this will be the century of clean energy and mineral constraints.\\xa0 Silver\\u2019s use as a\\xa0 key conductive energy collecting vehicle for the Solar PV market is an example of one of these potentially constraining clean energy mineral limits.
Matt Watson also goes on to explain in great detail how the shift to clean energy will create massive mineral constraints due to the high demand such as Copper, Nickel, Cobolt, ruthenium, iridium, platinum, and palladium.
