The Trouble with Lithium

Analysis of Lithium’s geological resource base shows that there is insufficient Lithium available in the Earth’s

Depletion rates would exceed current oil depletion rates and switch dependency from one diminishing
resource to another. Concentration of supply would create new geopolitical tensions, not reduce them.
