There’s one company coming into the lithium game in Saskatchewan from a slightly different perspective: It’s operated and partially owned by an oil company that already has revenue coming in. Also, it looks like there may be a lithium fairway running from east of Weyburn to Torquay. Here’s Part 12 and Part 13 in the series on Lithium in Saskatchewan.
Lithium – can we import 8 year old African kids to make it economical? How about Uighur and Falun Gong slave labour? Oops, I forgot, they are for organ transplants.
How about some homeless Turks? They’re sure to crash our shores very soon
“ Investing “ in lithium basically means stacking pallets of taxpayer dollars ( if those dollars are “ oil money “ that really belong to the stockholders, so much the better ) and then igniting them with a malfunctioning lithium battery as a sacrifice to Ba’al.
Remember this, when someone talks about “ investing “ in renewables.
I guess these nay-sayers don’t have any cell phones, tablets, cordless tools or anything that uses USB charging.
Lithium technology batteries are a good thing.
But the world doesn’t have enough lithium to even pretend to power all the cars. Ruining the environment to save the environment is getting old.
Who cares? Its good for lots of other things, so mining it is a good idea.
Too bad there isn’t any investment in manufacturing Li-ion, LiPo and LiFePo cells in Canada, so we’ll just have to sell the lithium to the Chinese.
The way things are going, manufacturing anything in Canada will be impossible soon enough, unless you are among the politically anointed.
Conglomerates usually do poorly and as such are discounted by the market (not always, just usually).
Best action is to dividend excess capital to stockholders if cannot reinvest in core business. Let stockholders invest it themselves.
Sodium will not replace lithium.
Just like lithium didn’t replace NiMH, which didn’t replace NiCad, which didn’t replace lead-acid.
Options and choices are a good thing. Each technology has its strengths and weaknesses.
