One country in South America(synapses won't fire to help me remember which particular one right now) is calling a moratorium on new oil fields , even though they are substantial , and focussing on a hugh supply of lithium under a vast salt flats at high altitude .
Apparently , there is enough there to supply a vast increase in battery usage throughout the world .
You are correct , though , that it is finite , but it is a definite sign that there are other roads that are just as viable as your oil .
The one rosy point for you oil guys is that they'll likely be using lots of it in the extraction of the lithium .
Here bags, use sodium instead... far cheaper than lithium, and you could save on heating too :p

Yet they spent more time outside the office then any of us do, eh? So who lived more?Quote:

"They come. They fight. They destroy. They corrupt. It always ends the same."
Another issue with our progress is the scale on which the rich/developed help the poor/underdeveloped.
I am sure research and money can mean Humans can overcome many of the issues facing it, but think there will be a time when a decision needs to be made.
If the progress comes at a huge cost, do Humans who develop and pay for the idea, stand together and insure the whole of Humanity make the leap needed or do they work it for those who are in a position to pay only.
If it is anything like the side of Rich Humans we see most of the time I think we know the answer.
All of which could lead to a split in the Species.
There's already a split, of the society. How far will it go? Where will it end? A brave new world?Quote:
