    The order will result in a GDP loss of $700 billion

    that seems really high, but maybe it is correct.

      The order will result in a GDP loss of $700 billion and the federal government will lose its biggest revenue generator, the letter stated. One of the other concerns they share is America returning to dependence on foreign oil.

      According to WSJ, drilling on federal lands accounts for 9% of oil production in the U.S. Hard to square that with almost a $1T lost.

      I'm not saying it's a good EO, just that the figures seem like hyperbole.

          Which is the most lithium-rich country in the world?

          Whatever it might be, it'll become the mid-21st century Saudi Arabia.

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                    Bolivia, and Argentina 2nd.

                    There's going to be a lot of jokes about fading into Bolivian.

                      Actually, Chile has the largest known reserves at 8,600,000 metric tons. There are about 17 million metric tons of known lithium reserves.

                      One metric ton can produce about 83 Tesla 70Kwh batteries at 12Kg per.
                      So we currently know of enough lithium to produce 1.4 billion electric cars under current technology.

                      Coincidentally there are currently right around that many vehicles on the road worldwide, and expected to be 2 billion by 2050.

                      Lithium ain't gonna cut it and as I said earlier, optimism is not a strategy.

                          The pub I got my information from is the same one they cite in the article, but it does not explain the huge discrepancy between the chart I cited and the paragraph after. Maybe what I looked at was the reserves in existing mines.

                          https://pubs.usgs.gov/periodicals/mcs2020/mcs2020-lithium.pdf

                          But, in true TNCR fashion, you still have your head up your ass and wouldn’t know the truth if it bit you on the ass. 😆
