Nonsense, but of course someone selling you an investment opportunity won\'t tell
you that.
Lithium is mined from dried-up sea beds, because some of the dried salts have useful
concentrations of that element There\'s lots of those, and the most economic are being
mined now, while the next-most-economic will be mined in a decade. The metal isn\'t
rare, and the price will disappoint investors who buy today at a big premium.
I quote er.... you, with \"the most economic are being mined now\" - it\'s gonna get very hard soon to mine it, so the price will shoot up.

And, then, there is the issue of WHERE does the electricity come from? Much of it is by burning coal.
They want to cover the Mojave desert with solar panels.

The amount of oil required to run every single car in the world is enormous. Oil is rare. We only have about 47 years left at current consumption rates.
But \"proven reserves\" have been increasing linearly for about 100
years now. And lots of places haven\'t been explored.

This hardly looks linear:

It seems that it saturated in 2010.

How may miles have you put on it? If you had only bought it because you had a very small penis, it might not have done very many at all.
You seem to have quite the interest in penises. About 250,000 miles
since you asked. It\'s been to all four corners of the continental US and
a hell of a lot of places in between.

Proven reserve is a function of oil price. That chart was drawn when oil price was around $70. At $110 oil, there are lots more oil reserve now.

All of which is irrelevant. 250,000 miles is nothing unique. Both of
my pickups got around that. One was in an accident and the other
stolen. You are driving around 7,000 miles a year, half the national
average. You may qualify for a discount on your insurance for low
mileage.

The \'proven reserves\' are a match to expected consumption: no one looks for new well sites
that won\'t be needed for thirty years.
Exactly. When we need more oil, we drill and get it.
That linear increase has nothing
to do with supply, only demand.

Yes, but the same arguments apply to the reserves of Lithium as there
are at least a few hundred billion tons either as deposits or in the
oceans.
As the technology of cars and mining evolves and the financial
incentives stimulate exploration and development more is likely to be
discovered or alternatives found. Probably enough for billions of
cars.

Probably not - but the great majority of conventional vehicles don\'t last that long either. The average lifetime of cars in the US is about 15 years..
Accident damage or some major failure (such as engine!) often results in a costly repair that causes it to be scrapped.
My last BMW was a great car until it was about 8 years old when failures started to become annoying and expensive.

I\'ve seen the 15 year number many places. However, we buy enough new cars to replace the fleet in 15 years. So how can we still be driving half of what was sold in the last 15 years? The number of cars on the road is not increasing 50% every 15 years is it?
Where did you get the 15 year number?

Reserves in years of consumption are going UP!
We only have 47 years until we run out of oil. By 2050, we\'ll be 60
years from running out!

Billions of cars, ah yes. We have to provide for all these driverless
cars that will soon clog our roads.
