Resource Based Bitcoin exchange

Using some very basic math and a magic formula, and online reserve information I was able to calculate the bitcoin value for the well known resources in the world today. Below is the assumptions made to make the calculations

Assumptions
Area of a tree (km^2)
2.51327E-07
Average mass of a tree (Tonne)
0.680580762
Barrels per ton
7.33
Amount of food (lbs/acre)
58200
Amount of food (ton/KM^2)
6523.351417
Conversions
1 cubic feet
0.15899 Barrel
1 Short Ton
0.907185 Ton

Below is the BitCoin to resource exchange rate given the global amount available today (You can verify the amount available by looking online).

Although, the values do not reflect their practical and access values, the Bitcoin value for the resources increases based on how much is left. So if a resource based economy was implemented everyone would have access to the energy resources (Oil, Gas, Coal) at a much lower price then they are currently. 

Next, I hope to create a table for the energy, knowledge, and human resources necessary to extract and use the resources listed above and adjust the bitcoin values accordingly.
