No doubt you can. I suppose what I am getting at, with consumerism do we have enough lithium etc to sustain this technology for the next 1000 years?
The difference is sugarcane is renewable lithium is not.
I understand that new technology will come along but what happens if it doesn't? Do we go back to hydrogen?
Where is this lithium currently? Is it under suburbia or is it out in the country where no one lives? How are we going to pull it out of the ground particularly if it is currently sitting under your favourite suburb?
These above are simply questions and certainly not statements, and no, I don't pretend to have the answers either.
