   As EVs are gaining popularity the tech is evolving quickly. So today's Lithium-Ion is LIKELY NOT the end of innovation in regards to Energy Storage (i.e. batteries or fuel).
   Wow lithium batteries have provided remarkable improvements over lead and nickel cadmium products, the lithium battery technologies still have limitations. First off they do have safety concerns in regards to fires, they are extremely heavy, the charging is slow and the storage is still not at par with the energy density of petroleum products. Energy density is the key. Most products are moved by truck in Western society and a large truck simply cannot be equipped with lithium batteries due to the weight that you would have to add. For every pound of weight the battery adds to the vehicle that is a pound less of supplies the vehicle can transport. To give you a example on how much weight these batteries add to a vehicle a Tesla sedan weighs approximately 800 more pounds curb weight than a gasoline powered Ford F-150 truck!
   A tractor-trailer that has the power to pull a typical 18-wheel rig outfitted with batteries for the same range as the diesel tanks on a typical rig would add an additional 15-30k pounds (8-12k kilograms) .. 😮
   With the breakthroughs of graphene and sodium ion batteries and the revolution of fuel cells powered with hydrogen, we will continue to see the evolution of the electric power and storage of energy for vehicles. The energy density is key. If a sodium ion battery for a hydrogen powered fuel cell power plant can we 50 percent less than a lithium battery system it would be a game-changer and really take electrification of vehicles to the next level. I'm no petroleum Fanboy or an anti lithium battery dude I'm just providing some additional information and pointing out the fact that things change technology evolves and nothing stays the same.

   Why is extracting LITHIUM helping our environment, anymore than DRILLING FOR OIL OR GAS?…. it's not helping our environment…. it contaminates our water and takes huge acres of land. Another industry making money just as the Oil and Gas with different pollution and problems we don't know about. Gas and oil is already established, I for one want to keep it. Lithium is just another industry getting government grants that taxpayers pay for while they make all the profits.
   Not one mention ofthe VAST quantities of FRESH WATER taken from the underground aquafers needed for this process. Ck out Chile and other countries & their waterlevels being lowered significantly. Industry could care less if you have drinking water or not.
   God help us.

    New Canadian nano-filtering tech allows lithium to be easily filtered out of oil reservoir brine, salt flat brine and geothermal brine. Alberta Leduc reservoir has the world's largest lithium reserve. E3 Lithium Outlines 23.4 Mt LCE Inferred Mineral Resource in Consolidated Bashaw District
    E3 Lithium, Alberta's leading lithium developer and Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology innovator today announced the increase in its inferred mineral resource to 23.4 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) contained within the newly-named Bashaw District (the "Resource"). The Bashaw District combines and expands the Clearwater Resource and Exshaw Resource areas into a consolidated resource that contains an estimated total of 59 billion m 3 (59 km 3 ) of brine formation water at an average grade of 74.5 milligramLitre (mgL) lithium (Figure 1).

    Our government has no clue . I am not going to buy electric vehicle in the next 10 years. Don't want one. I'm not going to get one. I don't care about the text credit. I don't trust the vehicles nor do I want to pay for the increased mechanical bills over electric vehicle. Sorry. Thank you for nothing.

    Don't mine the Land. The extraction from seawater, will provide humanity with ALL the Lithium it can ever use. ! (and the cost of a kilogram of this direct extraction from seawater, is $5.00) ! And, there is no need to ruin the land in the process. ! This genra of technology can be used to extract ANY metal directly from sea water. i.e. no more copper or gold mines !!

    I support lithium extraction from salts. However I believe the opportunity to extract water by evaporation at the same time should be taken.

    I wonder which companies would buy the lithium ore. I know a US company mining in Africa for Lithium ore and are stock piling to sell to a processing plant. I'm not sure if there are USA buyers for lithium ore or if it all goes to China to be processed.

    Did you know that in the Republic of the Congo they have one of the largest Lithium mines in the world owned by China. To mine these minerals they use 40 thousand child slave laborers. Slavery is a common practice in Africa still and children suffer the most. So next time your riding around in your EV thinking your better then everyone else cause your "doing your part to save the planet from climate change," think of the poor child that helped get the minerals under harsh conditions to build your "green energy" car. By the way, did you see where the police used an EV charger to find a criminal? They tracked all the EV chargers in that city and found that EV being charged and went and arrested the lady.

    Water of the earth is USED no matter what, and if filtered, the filter is contaminated and placed in any Trash and to the Earth, contaminating the earth in a Pure contaminated Trash area.

    Clean Energy is nothing more but Another way of causing Environmental contaminating with Lithium and Copper.

    Has anyone done any studies on if it would make sense to put these facilities directly on the same stream as desalination plants as the brine is more concentrated and could potentially have a larger lithium extraction? If so then Southern California, Israel, and the middle east are going to be lithium giants. 10:52

    Fascinating stuff… lithium and its applications for health and batteries. There needs to be explicit consent for giving and extracting. It’s fascinating, I thought about going back to law school, I ran into a law student from FSU, he said… it depends on whys you want to do with your law degree…

    International accountability for business and health in a number of fronts. It’s amazing how integrally connected many of these issues really are.
