Hi @LawlessLantern,

I respect your right to that opinion, but as I posted it doesn't matter whether it's for climate change driven reasons or finite resource reasons, lithium is involved in the answer.

Li is already being used for EVs of all types (cars, trucks, buses, ships, aircraft, trains) because light weight storage is required after the electricity is produced.

Being a finite resource, even if fossil fuels continue to be used for energy and plastics production they are becoming scarcer and therefore more expensive. Wind and solar is not available 24/7 365 and energy storage is required.

Li is abundant on this planet, ultimately recyclable and for the foreseeable future cost effective.
There are other storage solutions available that may overtake lithium's static storage capability and cost effectiveness, but in terms of mobility from phones to aircraft the tech is already adopted and as the lightest metal in existence pretty much impossible to beat.

That's my opinion, doesn't have to be anyone else's.
