Eliminating a small pain from the USA and a big pain from China gives a net benefit to China, so it's weird to see it advertised as a net benefit for the USA. That said, raw material availability isn't the limiting factor here. We probably shouldn't even be discussing it. > requires discussion about new battery chemistry supply chains to only discuss lithium-ion (??) That's the alternative Na-ion has to beat. We could build lithium refining and manufacturing capacity in the US sphere of influence. Evaluations of any new technology should compare it to the best available alternatives, yes?
