Opinon: Lithium Market Set To Explode; All Eyes Are On Nevada

Green Car Congress

While other commodities are floundering or completely collapsing in this market, lithium—the critical mineral in the emerging battery gigafactory war—is poised to explode, and going forward Nevada is emerging as the front line in this pending American lithium boom. Without lithium, there will be no battery gigafactories.

Debunking the Lithium "Mining" FUD

Plug In India

But the impact is way lesser than what it takes to drill, extract, transport, refine and burn oil. The reality is these mines are not even in use by the battery industry and they are not Lithium Mines. A completely new method is to filter lithium directly out of the brine using membranes, thus avoiding water-intensive evaporation [8].
