 “With reserves projected to run out in just 20 years, Plume predicts silver’s price could surpass $60 per ounce.”

According to Plume, nonsourced calculations are “showing the U.S. would need over 3.5 billion ounces [109,375 tons] of silver to transition to 100 percent solar power.” The writer and his publisher say this ties into “how China’s dominance in silver production threatens U.S. strategic interests.”
