<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1680113, member: 26302&quot;]Heck of a quote. Unless you are some kind of purist snob, most people want an acceptable product that is cheapest. Why do you think consumer goods always move around the world to the cheapest manufacturing sites? Its because consumers do not wish to pay for &quot;the best&quot; scrub brush or stuffed animal, they want an acceptable one for the cheapest price.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have read lately of quite a bit of usage of copper and aluminum in cheap solar panels. Its why our houses are not full of silver wire, or why most house do not have copper pipes any more.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do believe, though, PM will always have value. Its more derived though by humans love of the shiny metal, how pretty it is, more than anything else. I believe the industrial applications are overblown, but I do believe there is a good base of demand &quot;just because its PM&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I am more worried about PT group metals more. If carbon substitutes replace them, I do not think there will be enough demand for them &quot;simply because they are PT group metals&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
