Glen to appear in History Channel special: What is the Earth Worth
Hey everyone, check out a new program on the History Channel, What is the Earth Worth. It will air on Thursday October 25, 2012 at 9:00 PM EST/PST (8:00 PM Central); check your local listing. I was interviewed for a day in Seattle last spring for this program, by the production company, Bullseye Productions from Scotland. They have produced the program in association with IWC Media, a company in the Zodiac group of media companies.

The program looks at the future of about eight vital earth resources and asks what they are worth. We’ll see how much of the footage they shot with me ended up in the final product, but it should be an interesting hour.

I saw this program advertised today on the History Channel. The advertisement made it seem like the show was going to add up all the resources and total the price. cosidering the subjective quality of prices this seems foolish, even impossible.

only way to find out is to melt it all down and pour it into a mold. Then seperate the layers and refine them!

Ya. Like if you had all the lumber in the world and tried the sale it the price would drop to next to 0. In fact I be high grade lumber like epa or tigerwood would hold little more then firewood value by the time you got done posting it all for sale.
