You say that the war for minerals, oil, and natural resources must end...but unless you have an alternative to energy or the resources that support life on this planet, my friend, this will NEVER happen. Just a Few Reasons Why there will always be conflict over natural resources. 1) They are resources....self-explanatory 2) They are needed for either daily life, crucial needs, or economic development...none of which will cease to affect how anyone in this world lives their lives. 3)There will always be a vie for resources...because countries are ran on the selfish need to get ahead...whether based on the rulers of that country or the mainstays/corporations that run the economy of said country. The point is...there will ALWAYS be conflict over resources..specifically energy..and those needed for life..and pretty much anything connected with/or used for wealth. Period.
