Lithium Debate

I found Danny Bradbury's article on lithium + other viewpoints @ http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/jul/31/motoring.energy interesting.

Go to www.worldlithium.com/An_Abundance_of_Lithium_1.html for further information.

Data from USGS puts total world resources of lithium metal at around 14m tonnes. The total world resource includes all the lithium metal we know about, whether it is commercially viable to extract it or not. But the USGS data is based on a 1976 National Research Council report. A lot has changed in 32 years. Back then, most lithium came from a mineral called spodumene.
