I do not believe every aspect of nature needs to be "controlled" by man, and some things that benefit us, are far better left somewhat "wild," as imposing excessive "control" costs us too much. It's not necessary to bring "under control" every remote wildfire, too far away to much impact human interests anyway. Far too many people really do want to reproduce, for humans to have any interest in "controlling" our numbers. Let human numbers rise naturally unhindered. Develop for growth.

The world population is growing denser and denser throughout the world, and ALL countries should be urged to do their part to help the world hold more and more people, by populating vaster and denser, especially via their own natural increase - their very own children.
But growing cities and suburbs need dependable/affordable energy/electricity even for the working poor, to keep the lights, machines running, cook food without millions of cooking fires, so mine copper for wiring, etc

Sorry, but the YouTube videos have stopped playing on my Mac mini, and I'm on dialup. Some error about having an old version of Adobe's Falsh Player?
But yes, I am very pro-development, and pro-mining. When governments try to decide what's needed, rather than free markets, don't we tend to get the mass insanity, like when China went crazy trying to catch up with Western capitalist countries, with a crazy rush for everybody to produce steal, so everybody forgets to produce food?
