It's no secret that America flushed its prosperity onto foreign soils, leaving behind gigantic debt cesspools.
Scripture indicates that the wages of sin is death, which is exactly what is occurring.
Obviously a way must be found to rise above the unsustainable stench of the regulatory environment.

Poverty does not have to be our way of life. America has always been blessed with rugged entrepreneurs. But these inventive minds must be set free to unleash the latent powers of metals that have always been mankind's friend.   

There are thousands of web pages illustrating how the metals are playing key roles for brighter tomorrows. Below are a few web sites regarding the PGMs so the reader can become familiar with these strategically important elements that Sierra County appears to be blessed with.

"Atomic weights of 10 elements on periodic table about to make an historic change"
Interestingly Thallium is one of these 10 metals.

"Meteorites Offer Glimpse Of The Early Earth, Say Purdue Scientists"
Thallium is one of the metals in these meteorites.

"Research Shows Coal Burning Responsible For Arctic's Heavy Metal Pollution"
For those who refuse to wear blinders and still think critically -- this article (one of hundreds) fails to include increased volcanism, as well as meteors for the so-called increase of these metals (Lead, Thallium, cadmium & mercury), thus exposes this green pseudo-science where half-truths is deindustrializing America.

These 2 periodic charts are provided to further your knowledge of all the metals, some of which will play pivital roles in Sierra County's economic future.
