- panick21_ 4y agoGod I'm so sick of this nonsense. No, lithium is not 'black gold'. Lithium is absurdly common and availability of lithium is borderline meaningless. Extract and refining lithium is a tiny business and even with many more years of growth its still a pretty tiny business. It will never be even close to oil in any meaningful metric. Its not an energy source is a 3% of a storage medium for energy. And on the is common. And can be recycled.
- midoridensha 4y agoIt's not an energy source, but if worldwide demand for lithium-based batteries goes up exponentially with electrification of transport modes and use for grid storage systems, then the value of lithium will also go up greatly.
