Thanks to Malthus, we have focused on food as the limit to population growth. For some reason, we have failed to consider how demands on other resources may have limits that we cannot afford to cross.

• The deal does NOT name the assets & says they will be defined in a later agreement that will go to a vote in #parliament.

• The assets are "defined as deposits of #minerals, #hydrocarbons, #oil, natural #gas, & other extractable materials, & other #infrastructure relevant to #NaturalResource assets (such as liquefied natural gas terminals & port infrastructure)."

#didyouknow
Only #water is used more often as a #naturalresource than sand (and gravel). The demand for sand keeps rising and has three-folded over the last two decades. Hence, sand has become the most mined material in the world. (3)

@strypey
Yes commercial value. Basically if one were to #rent, or is, renting out the #land, how much would they get? #Tax that value.

It needs to be done, but among the #breadAndCircuses this issue is not to be seen or heard.

If the land has a natural resource that #thePeople say should be utilised and isn't, then all known land with that valuable resource would be taxed a bit extra to help pay for a #subsidy to gather that #naturalResource.
