Do we have enough Aluminum for ever

Maybe you didn\'t know but in the year 2025 the earth\'s population will be up to 12 billion people, which is double what we have now. And i am doing a project on Aluminum, and I have to know if there is enough AL for this many people in the year 2025. So will there be enough AL in the world to support us all?Aluminium is the third most abundant element on earth after oxygen and silicon. I am quite sure that we will not run out of aluminium in the future. Oxygen - or at least pure good quality oxygen - is probably a more worrying scenario.Yes, there will be enough aluminum for us all. Economic theory says so. As demand rises, the cost of aluminum will go up (lowering demand) and more aluminum will be recycled (increasing supply). Our children might not see aluminum foil, but aluminum cans might still be out there
