Just think about it....Armies around the world are going to be electric? That’s just nuts.

Supplying the electricity to recharge seems a huge problem too considering our electric grids can barely keep up now- with some states facing rolling blackouts during peak usages-

Getting enough lithium is one of the biggest challenges facing electric-car companies

We could get some by disassembling the warheads on our Thermonuclear Weapons ...

I have read that the mine-able lithium deposits will only enable the conversion of 6-7% of the internal combustion powered cars to electric.

Then, recycling the batteries will become mandatory to keep the EV industry going, but at a flatline.

Especially after the whole auto industry moves to “EV-only” in 2030-2035.

That is why they call it a precious metal.

If they think oil drilling is bad, just wait until they see the environmental mess left behind from their green power supply.

Well Duh!!!

Everyone who has looked at it will agree, unless they are Democrats who think you need to click your heels twice.

Lithium is the third most common element in the planet. Low-impact mining is possible. Just need someone to take up the profitable challenge of acquiring it on a much larger scale.

Why doesn’t Musk invest in lithium mining right here in the US? Without taxpayer dollars. He complain a little bit about how our government makes it impossible to even open a mine, let alone be profitable.

So Elon Musk has hundreds of billions of dollars. He’s telling you that if you invest in lithium, you’re sure to make enormous returns! And yet although his investments rely on lithium production, he doesn’t himself invest in lithium production.

It takes a special kind of naive to listen to people telling you where to invest, when they won’t invest there themselves. He wants cheap lithium. He wants YOU to pay for it. Don’t cite him as if he’s giving out sound advice.

Read that there is a large deposit of lithium in the Ukrainian Donbas region from an international mining report. It’s not just oil and a land buffer they are after.

“Cleaner battery power?” These people have the IQ of a turnip.

A massive deposit of lithium has been found on the US, in VT or NH. It’s been a few weeks since I read the article so I forgot which one. Family owned mine of geologists but the state NIMBY mining laws on strip mining are affecting the future extraction. We have the lithium in the US but will we be able to process and sell it?

" Getting enough lithium is one of the biggest challenges facing electric-car companies"

Reminds of FDR saying:
"Getting enough rubber is one of the biggest challenges facing car companies..."

We all know how that turned out...
For those of us old enough to remember, it's Deja Vu all over again...
