Do you think that we should begin attempting to extract these 100,000 quadrillion dollars' worth of resources for consumption on Earth for industrial production?

At this point in time we have no ability to mine any asteroids but if we did the material would be more valuable for use in space. Bringing back all the valuable elements such as gold would make gold worthless on the earth.
