       It always strikes me that people think we can simply electrify everything with renewables and continue as we do. Electrifying just all US vehicles would require 3 times the current world lithium production, and that’s just the US and the cars. More lithium would be needed for energy storage, and there are more countries than the US. Also: mining is an ecological disaster.https://subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews/2023/01/25/transition-to-evs-could-cause-lithium-shortages-report-00079279
