Wait, you mean you have to MINE LITHIUM, COPPER, ZINC, AND COAL in order to make BATTERIES (Graphene is Carbon).

I thought Greta Thunberg crapped batteries after consuming large amounts of organic endive?

YOU STILL HAVE TO RAPE THE EARTH TO GET YOUR GREEN NEW DEAL.

Anything electrical requires minerals.

Two bests hopes for actual green power:

1. Thorium based nuclear - LFTR and they’re improved versions of same tech.
2. Figuring out how to harvest the energy generated from the biggest iron-nickel ball local to us (core of the Earth) rotating under the magnetic field of the magnetosphere generating gobs and gobs of DC power.

But you can’t meter the second method.

You can however have the best golf round of your life in a driving rainstorm and get struck by some of it (RAT FARTS!!!!!)

I wonder if Albemarle and other lithium producers are some of the big money behind all the oil pipeline protests? Monkeywrenching their competition?

Throwing Afghanistan back into civil war would affect prospective lithium supplies, and that could tinker with the value of existing lithium supply.
