Good ol’ China Bill. More wages of his getting Chinese campaign donation in ‘95 (John Huang, Charlie Trie, Buddhist Temple, etc.).
‘96.
Sort of slow on the associated logical extensions, eh?
Yes. God said, “Get your own dirt.”
“Democrats don’t do math.”
Math is hard, y’know.
Good tagline.
Yes, there will always be some need for some lithium mining, but peak use of lithium isn’t very far away. Should lithium become more scarce, recycling would become more certain. There’s enough economically viable proven reserves for 4 billion cars.... and enough reserves at higher costs for 80 billion cars.... so I’m not worried about running out of lithium.
Meanwhile, capacitors will probably be the dominant technology within a couple of decades. Right now the challenge is making sure you never instantaneously release enough energy to propel two tons of auto 400 miles. :-)
being deceived by the brainwashing from the university she attends and that I pay for.
“... I PAY for.” Shouldn’t that be the past tense? You’re still paying for brainwashing?
Lithium isn’t used as fuel. You never have to “refill” it, and when the day comes that the battery no longer holds a charge, it still has just as much lithium as it had when it was first made.
These right-wing Luddites are swallowing the bilge that left-wing worry trolls are feeding them; the communists don’t WANT there to ever be an energy solution. That’s why they now fanatically hate Elon Musk.

You pay taxes, don’t you?
Don’t fret. As an early poster you met your goal of getting responses to something absent from the article.

i see empty buses all the time”
That is true here, in a relatively small town, but at least they are clean and safe when you do ride them.
I never ride them
The few who docride them are unsafe

Not everywhere at once....but the need will increase slowly with the rollout of new electric vehicles......
There weren’t gas stations anywhere when the first cars rolled out......
Exception: California.....They’re crazy, all-electric vehicles by 2030 but their grid can’t even support the airconditioning load in summer......and they refuse to allow more power plants or infrastructure.....
Who is going to use solar and wind except California and some limited electric companies who got huge federal grants, tax breaks, and loans to put a cursory few.
No one in the Power Industry is serious about solar and wind for large-scale energy production......
How do you conflate solar/wind energy with electric cars?
If they ask AOC where the elecricity to be produced for millions of new electric vehicles will come from,
she will point to a socket on the wall. Rolls (protruding) eyes at questioner and sighs. Case closed.
