Congress is shockingly poor for their age and social status. You would expect a minimum of 3 million net worth's and an average in the 8 million realm for all of the members above 50 (95% of them), not the average of 500k we see.

The US cant ramp up production fast, but when Kazachstan can offer 15 USD an hour for as many hours as you can work, you have a different animal

You arent opening new mines, you are mining in existing mines faster or re-opening shuttered mines - most silver production is as a byproduct of copper, nickel, and lead mining, not dedicated silver mining, as mining silver for silver is pretty unprofitable

That ignores mining infrastructure. Go look at the North Antelope Rochelle mine from satellite

I once calculated how much land would be required to supply the US total energy needs with wind turbines. It took an area of around eight times the size of Texas!

No, it is called a Wyoming.

No, with higher silver prices more people mine silver faster

Oh come on, dont tell me you dont get mesmerized at the concept of making a garbage disposal 100 times as large then throwing pedophiles in it

This is squarely a retirement job for me, and I also only have to work about 5 hours a week work from home

I work for the federal government - I have 50 years experience and am working in an accounting/engineering management position. My pay is capped because congress doesnt want me to be paid more than them. Meanwhile people in their late 20s in my department leave to make twice my pay in the private sector

42.88549264899052, -106.29499697188304 for GPS coordinates. It is a 160 acre dump

Now look half a mile to the left of it and see the 600 acre lake of petroleum runoff BP left there - 42.89420222314314, -106.31662630390747

Now look at the largest open pit mine in the world, which is less than 60 miles away - 43.62154443029654, -105.30131864034631

and tell me that the dump for wind turbines is the problem

Wyoming has wind year round, and too much of it. We want to affect our wind flow. 20 years is not a short amount of time when they pay themselves off in 3. "800 metric tons of concrete" is what it takes to build five 3000 sqft homes. And it produces an insane amount of power
