Note that if the lithium price rises, we'll have more reserves -- reserves only count if they're economically-extractable at the current price.

- gcb0 9y agosaid everyone of oil 100 years ago. Can't wait for our fluvial polution with all those tesla batteries in a dumb, waiting to be recycled after a huge lithium reserve is found and make recycling unattractive. its a lose-lose scenario. Either no new reserves or recycling not economically viable.
- Dylan16807 9y agoWe can have both. Aluminum is recycling-friendly and also has vast reserves. The more important factor is the difficulty of recycling, and it's possible to overcome that with fees on production/sale that get paid out to recyclers.
