Slow Start for Lithium-ion Hybrids

Natural gas has good potential. In the long run, it's only a stop-gap. However, that stop-gap could be 30-40 years, and by then who knows what the best battery tech will be. We could have cold fusion powered cars by then, haha. Even if lithium doesn't get put into cars, demand will still increase because of its use in electronics. Also, SQM is not a 1 trick pony.

I am concerned that the major lithium deposits are in Chile, Peru, and China respectively. China has had some foresight and created tight trading relationships with Chile and Peru. I'd hate to see us transition from Oil Wars to Lithium Wars. That's another reason I like natural gas.

I think the best bet is to invest in natural gas as well as lithium. I think will go with CLNE, SQM, ENS, and ALTI together as a high risk 5 year package.

Are their other good lithium mining companys, or companies that produce both NiMH and Li-Ion batteries?
