Lithium Batteries: Nothing But Illusion

...I think your critic's simply trying to encourage you to get to the friggin' point and cut the crap...e.g. did you really need to quote Hume...also, you need to provide some references -- e.g. this comment:

"The numbers show that for the next generation, at least twenty five years, the total annual possible production of electrified personal vehicles will be limited by the rate of natural resource production, particularly of the rare earths and lithium"

...where can those numbers be found, exactly?...and some things need clarification:

"It is economics dear readers that determines whether or not a “deposit” is mineable, and the economics are calculated (There’s that quantitative term again) by summing all the costs and dividing into them the total production tonnage."

...hmmm -- well, no...that's cost per ton..."economics" depends then on the cost per ton of competing fuels...if competing fuels are more expensive then you pay what you have to...unless, of course, you want to start bicycling to work every day.
