“and CCP controls 80% of the worldwide Cg mining and production.”
And since we are in the middle of an intentional plot to take down the west from within then that only makes sense. The west will be hopelessly crippled when it comes to movement.
Texas will never run out of lithium. There’s over 100,000 active wells in the Midland basin each and every one produces on average of 6 bbl of salt water for every one bbl of oil. I personally have drilled over 500 swd wells as a ops geologist in a 20+ year career the amounts of salt water are mind boggling some wells take 50,000 bank A DAY down bore.
“Just a single week’s worth of water from hydraulic fracturing in Texas’ Eagle Ford Shale has the potential to produce enough lithium for 300 electric vehicle batteries or 1.7 million smartphones, the researchers said. This example shows the scale of opportunities for this new technique to vastly increase lithium supply and lower costs for devices that rely on it.”
It’s not just EVs. Every smart phone, laptop, tablet,electric razor or Clippers, electric drills and power tools, they all use Li based batteries why because currently Li based batteries have the highest kwh/kg and the most charge cycles before end of life at the best prices. Modern society runs on lithium batteries your smart phone would not exist without them no other batteries have the energy density to do it and be rechargeable. Same.for modern tablets and laptops the old suit case sized laptops was due to nickel metal hydride batteries and Nicads before that even larger. Lithium is the corner stone of modern portable tech period full stop.
Tesla is abandoning cobalt all together the largest source in the world is the DRC and it’s a Ebola ridden conflict zone I was offered directly from the government 500,000 for 6 months with 250,000 upfront to come home cobalt as a geologist all expenses paid to and from with government body guards I turned it down I’m already independently wealthy I don’t need to die for half a mil make it 4 mil and we will talk again.
