Can someone help me to understand where all of the lithium will come from that will be necessary for all of those batteries? Just curious.
Mostly China, but it should be coming from out west.The US government should work it out with California to allow extensive mining of lithium around the Salton Sea in exchange for environmental cleanup of the disaster that is the Salton Sea, as well as ongoing environmental cleanup related to mining activity. It would take out many birds with one stone and pay for itself.
Whoever weens of fossil fuels first between China and the US will acquire an unprecedented level of energy independence and national security, thus planting its status as the super power of the future. Our politicians need to take less $$$ from antiquated fossil fuel companies and invest our tax dollars in the development of new energy technology.
Billions of dollars should be spent on developing lithium mines, advancing sodium ion technology for stationary uses, developing energy positive hydrogen solutions, and implementing current fossil-fuel-less technology.
100% Vincent … furthermore ALL alternate energy sources need to be from the PRIVATE sector. Taxpayer funded underwriting of this segment is critical. I have talked with many solar startups that are in it for the government paycheck.
“Agree” with Robert but I find it amusing that when it comes to lithium mining in the U.S., environmental groups are vehemently opposed to what it takes to make batteries! What happens when the batteries run out? MASSIVE environmental issues with disposal. Solar panels have a 20 year lifespan, windmills about the same.
It’s a viscious circle the green movement hasn’t completed the cradle to grave life cycle. Cart before the horse… I am for environmental reasoning and reality. Can NOT be underwritten by taxpayers.
