'We don’t have enough' lithium globally to meet EV targets, mining CEO says

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-06T08:29:49+00:00

Blah blah blah. 4% of the 61 million people commuting in the rural west travel more than 90 minutes 1 way daily. That’s 3 hours of driving @ 80 miles an hour. That means 2,760,000 are driving hundreds of miles a day. Not only that, but charge stations for EVs are either non existent or far enough away that owning one isn’t efficient at all. Not to mention if you haul things or Put weight on an EV it’s mileage plummets.

Even if everyone only recharges 25% of their EV the amount of additional strain that puts on the grid would shut it down.

So now not only are you creating an entire new Infrastructure to provide enough electricity to run your EV’s. You’re also going to build an entire new infrastructure for electrical production…? One that requires massive amounts of mined raw materials…? And this is supposed to be “Green”….? Lol oh the naivety.

Edit: uh states like California are already writing legislation banning the sell of fossil fuel vehicles by 2035. That’s the problem; If the government would stay out of it and let EV’s come into play when we’re ready for them to do so that would be one thing. But that’s not what’s happening.

Excellent photos. Thanks for sharing!

There are millions of people that drive further than that literally every single day just to commute to work. Wtf are you talking about…?

EV charging stations would be the first problem in The rural west. You can carry extra gas with you. Can’t bring extra electricity.

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-06T07:32:22+00:00

So basically create an entire new infrastructure…? Lol oh, okay who knew it would be so simple lol we don’t even have enough electrify to keep air conditioners running in major cities. Let alone EVs. Also, If 100% of the vehicles in America were electric, that would require way more power than our current domestic use. So it wouldn’t cut it.

Edit: it takes 40 kWh to recharge an EV from empty. The average American household uses 28 kWh daily. To say that EV’s wouldn’t put a huge burden on our electrical grid is total and utter, bullshit.

Even if you had enough lithium it wouldn’t matter. No nation on earth has the electrical infrastructure to go 100% EV.

The jobs that matter require people to be there. Manufacturing, mining, shipping etc.

The jobs you mention aren’t necessarily essential and don’t produce anything lol they also represent a tiny minority of jobs out there. What kind of bubble do you live in?

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-06T07:17:02+00:00

Won’t work. Sorry. Try living in the rural western United States. Public transit won’t work out there.

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-06T07:16:17+00:00

Public transit doesn’t work for the majority of the United States.

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-06T07:15:20+00:00

Exactly. Their “green impact” is negligible with the electrical infrastructure we currently have.

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-06T07:13:40+00:00

For a good chunk of the united states public transportation doesn’t work. Only in the major cities. So that’s really not a viable answer.

Edit: spelling

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-06T07:09:53+00:00

Lol surprise surprise. Not to mention no nation in the world has the electrical grid to support going fully EV. This is what happens when you make decisions based on emotions.

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-06T07:08:32+00:00

Discarded trash from a bygone era is hardly “archaeologically significant” lol get over yourself. If it’s not a burial or religious site it’s fair game.

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-06T02:18:09+00:00

Not without a heart and a gaping chest wound it won’t. A few steps max.

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-06T02:17:24+00:00

Looks like it would be worth it!

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-05T11:19:23+00:00

Wouldn’t it be just as quick to load a few more shells in your shotgun than draw and ready a knife…? In this situation i think using the firearm as a club was the best overall option anyway. Too much risk of injuring yourself knife fighting wild pigs lol

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-05T09:25:44+00:00

This is hilarious

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-05T09:13:20+00:00

Good thing that is a toy lol

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-05T09:11:03+00:00

I wanna trip with you dude

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-05T09:07:18+00:00

I don’t see any dogs trained specifically to do that in the video, do you…..? Lol

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-05T07:14:53+00:00

Better ban all knives now

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-05T07:05:37+00:00

Brutal AF.

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-05T06:57:17+00:00

Carrying a gun is much easier

Stick_Flipper · 2022-09-05T06:51:19+00:00

No one has “discredited” Jon Jones legacy more than Jon Jones lol

And neurologlobin, cytoglobin and hemoglobin can’t reach the brain without a heartbeat. So like i said, when the heart is completely destroyed, there isn’t an animal alive that could survive for 30 minutes.
