Good for Norway. I hope they get phenomenally rich. Couldn't happen to a better group of folks. The current price for phosphate is $150 per ton. 70 billion times 150 = 10 trillion bucks. But of course, as world population increases, the price will double. So the find could be worth 20 trillion. That's 3 million for each of Norway's population of 5.5 million. Will soon surpass Luxembourg, Monaco, and Switzerland as the world's richest per capita.
