Fuel burn rates are ~ 150 litre's per hour or roughly 44 gallons an hour imagine having to fill up your car every 30 minutes and you get a feel for how much energy a mine truck burns.. now consider the Ore Crushers and Processors and then shipping the Ore to the lithium extractors (a chemical process?) Many chemicals are produced by refineries....unless we are talking about acid extraction....
