Well obviously not, but you'd again be forgiven for thinking any element above iron would be quite rare. Must have been a very violent place the early universe

I'd better not chuck out all those old books then.
It really does seem like we need to take a step back. But it won't be a voluntary step, instead a major shock to all. Sadly it will probably be forced through war.
Let's hope things can continue as they are for a few more years though.

They are quite rare...All the discovered Gold on Earth would fit into 3 olympic swimming pools.Helium is rare .yet we fek around filling balloons and wasting it...Aluminium...Vast amounts of power to electrolyse it...yet we fek around making cans from it...Mankind is so clever yet so STupid

I cannot get my head round the big bang theory.At time zero...All the mass in the universe in a space smaller than an atom..mind blowing.

Chile has the potential to mine more, but currently struggling to do so.Is the amount of electric cars that could be in use world wide by 2030
All. Using lithuem battery's
Were is all this lithuem mineral going to. Come from to make / power the baterys
The next environmental catastrophe is on the horizon
Amazon basin is said to be rich in the material
Indigenous peoples in Argentina are already protesting about exploratory mining and drilling on there lands
Talk about deep. Sea mining
Go electric and save the planet, mind u any mining will probably be in 3rd world countries
Australia is currently the world leader in lithium mining.

Not without problems of course:

We may one day move away from lithium, but not yet:

Still reckon fuel cells might have a shout.
The ****s in my local who spend all night zombie-style staring into their screens, might actually have to converse with a human being in a few years time. If they have the social skills, that is.
This prospector just found a pile of Lithium even though he wasn't looking (yesterday's FT)
"Rio Tinto said it had found a potentially large source of lithium for electric car batteries while looking for gold in piles of waste rock in California, describing it as a “eureka moment” for the company.
The London-based miner said it could become the largest producer of lithium for batteries in the US if it can successfully process the rock on a larger scale.
The discovery may pave the way for Rio’s entry into the lithium market, which is set to see dramatic growth over the next decade due to the rise of electric vehicles, which are powered by lithium-ion batteries."
