    Such is the nature of market prices, if nobody uses it then the lack of demand drops the price. Eventually it gets low enough to make it not worth extracting and either someone stockpiles it for ‘reasons’ or it just goes away. Chances are though the vested interests will find some other way to push their product onto the public though.
