Then there is risk; who is to say that the current demand will be around in five to ten years by the time you ramp up.

Imagine being the sucker to go and do a big capex build out for a hypothetical demand in two years. Have fun explaining that to the investors who supported you. Also you probably need 5 years to cover your expenses at whatever the current costs are. If the volatile prices collapse you are in a world of hurt.

Someone will certainly take this bet - but it is a high risk one.
