Thanks Jordan. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I think we need a sort of precautionary principle regarding new tech to assure that it's actually an improvement over what it replaces and that there are no other better ways to solve the problem. There are people working on sodium ion batteries, for instance, that with more R & D could solve the same problems as Li with no real extractive footprint.
