What happened to the trillion dollar lithium deposits the US invaded Afghanistan for?

The Afghans are growing opium on top of it.

Ha ha ha California. Ha ha ha. You are so fucked and yet you still vote wrong. Don't move to Tennessee. After the coming Civil War 2 you won't like it here. Or the humidity, mosqitoes, and pollen.

Surprise, surprise. This has been known for at least 30 years now.

And China is sitting on more than 40% of worldwide estimated deposits, fyi.

Need some better battery tech then, obviously.

But of course some asshats hiding behind ties get the public crowd to realize these facts

after

Elon pulled all his pointless bs and their money out of their pockets for some bs smartphone on wheels housing bugs like an ant-hill.

The government can just subsidise the cost, like they're doing with the fuel bills, thereby magicking more of the limited resource into existence.

Asteroid Mining for Lithium. Call Elon Musk.

There is a lot of r & d in the pipeline I know of.

I wouldn't put my bets on lithium being the main battery tech element for more than 5-10 years to come.

So thats why the globalists were so desperate to run the ethnic Russians out of Eastern Ukraine that they would have the CIA training neo-nazi terrorist armies to do it. There is s big lithium deposit right there.

That would explain a hell of a lot.

Pro-tip: If you have the money and can afford to wait 10 to 20 years. Invest on lithium mining companies in order to get rich.

Noted.

The long-known, but often ignored, elephant in the room. The entire amount of lithium estimated to exist in our planet is only a tiny fraction of what is needed for even one country's unrealistic short term goals.
