    @ MRTTF and renim,

    Lithium is strategic.
    If it could be obtained cheaper from seawater, then cheap would have outdone strategic by now.

    Truth is, the USA has no strategic reserves, as my link shows.
    They check out against Wikis more recently compiled charts as well.

    By way of balance I link to an SA article that JP gave in response to my original post on this.

    All statements that accompany policy announcements associated with energy from US government include the mantra "Future Energy Security" in one form or another.

    How does putting such a heavy dependency on foreign supplies of Li help in pursuit of that national strategic aim?
    Putting the Li/Pb debate to one side, you are still left with an end result that you swap dependency on foreign oil, to foreign lithium.

    The US is not awash with Li, but it is flush in lead.
    You couldn't get a goofier policy from a think tank chaired by the Mad Hatter.
