Peter Clack What is funny is how a completely bogus claim gets 5,000 retweets. It's as if misinformation is a game.

Peter Clack Simply not true. The math is straightforward:

First, cobalt is not even necessary in car batteries (e.g., LFP and LMFP require no cobalt).

Second, there is enough lithium for 10.8 billion vehicles, and we have only 1.3 billion today.

False Peter Clack

Li resource on land: 85.5 Tg

Energy dens LMFP bat: 0.23 kWh/kg-LMFP=8.87 kWh/kg-Li
cnevpost.com/2022/07/12/cat…

Capacity Tesla Model S: 70 kWh->7.9 kg-Li/veh

Enough Li for 85.5/7.9=10.8 bil veh (1.3 b today)

Storage costs need to be added to nuclear and coal plant costs as well as to variable renewable electricity costs.

⚠️SPOILER ALERT⚠️
Taking all the variables into account, renewables are still the most cost effective option.

#RenewableEnergy : An era of remarkable growth

'Over the past decade, the growth of #Renewables has consistently and dramatically outperformed nearly all expectations. Upward corrections of estimates have become something of a ritual.'

Climate change: A communications failure by David Fenton #climatecrisis thehill.com/opinion/energy…

That's because countries have been bamboozled by fossil, nuclear & ag lobbyists pushing for useless solutions:

carbon capture, direct air capture, blue H2, small nuclear, bioenergy.

We must focus on what works and can be implemented quickly: #WindWaterSolar
