But who is stupid enough to buy an EV now?
I needed a new boat anchor.
They will need it for all the replacement batteries
EV is just 1 point of reference. Hand tools, cell phones, municipal power storage, home solar or wind turbine storage.
Evs were simply a blip on the radar. Until Fusion is cheaply and economically viable, storage is a great transition
The local scrap yard posted a sign requesting that lithium batteries be removed from anything being recycled. Li batteries are used in a lot of smaller devices. If the batteries can't be run through the mixed shred stream then there are few options outside of landfill disposal.
There isn’t much lithium in those small batteries; but it is very, very pure. Shredding it will mix up whatever is outside with the pure contents.
Lithium is a unique material in that it will evaporate into a lithium dioxide particulate or go gaseous
Checkmate globalists ---- who control China's lithium supply.
EVs will drop like a rock ---- the globalists have no advantage now.
Nobody. But lithium batteries for power tools are too damn high.
Isn't Newsom mandating EVs now?
That's a win!
Here's another: the lake created by an accidental dam spill, and fed by the USA's most toxic river (flowing north from Mexico) also is a great source of lithium. https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/us-department-energy-analysis-confirms-californias-salton-sea-region-be-rich-domestic
Lithium in brine is somewhat limited. Only about 1200p or 0.12% will dissolve. But when you frac you are drilling through lithium bearing clay, which can be substantially higher. 12,000ppm isn’t out of range for some
But battery tech is advancing phenomenally. More developments in the last 20years than since the discovery of electricity. Lithium is a great mobile metal ion; but its cost has dropped from $65k/mton to $16k/mton. And new technology means less Lithium and more durable, cheaper and faster charging tech probably less than 10 years from now.
Sodium looks like a great solution, Nickel and copper aren’t going away
IF the oil workers would just stop pissing in the ponds!
