It is easy enough to find prices for minerals, etc and compare them to prices of a few decades ago. Everything is getting cheaper all the time.

The point about texas is that we are not overpopulated. Perhaps in specific geographical areas, but not the world as a whole.
It's cheaper because we have better technology that enable us to mass manufacture products faster and at a lower cost. This could also mean that we'd have access to more resources that we couldn't have reached previously (depleted oil wells by microbiological add) but that does not mean our resource supply is infinite.
