The following is a wonderful article by Charles Morris that communicates several important points superbly. It presents a bit of a different take on lithium than we’ve typically been presenting, while still referencing a comment from a battery exec that emphasizing a key point we’ve been communicating for years. That … [continued]
Elon Musk and “Mr. Lithium” are both right about the issues surrounding lithium’s supply and demand. Lithium prices are rising to insane levels — especially for a metal that isn’t rare. The issue isn’t rarity or scarcity, but it’s how to get it out of the spodumene and into an … [continued]
