Time for America to Fire First Shot in the EV Revolution

As far as I know Lithium is not available in high amounts.

According to the article the is 12 mio Tonns available on the plant as far as currently known. How far will this go, if we want to replace a battery for every of the 800 mio cars within the next 50-80 years?

Would be apprx. 15 kg by car, not having dealt with notebooks or other usage of LI.

I think we always tend to hope that something will help us in future, instead of acting now. Everybody is talking about price/cost ..., while spending billions for other things. How about just investing 100 bio USD of military costs for different kinds of alternate energy, even if it is not profitable, its better than dropping a bomb, and also employs the people.

I don't want to be so foolish to believe that this will be done, but just from the point of view in the discussion about the whole topic.

This topic is not not about absolte return, btu investment in the future.

Alternative Energy Storage: It's All About Price vs. Performance

User 267708 - Uranium for nuclear power is only around for the next 50 years or so what I heard, shorter than oil.

The only solution is to use a wide variety of energy sources. Each one by itself will play a part. Time has passed to think about having more energy to less costs.

It is time to think using less energy for the same task more efficiently.
