I agree with most of the comments and posts regarding LAC.... the North-South division, the purchase of Arena, and most importantly that the price of lithium finished product may not be the same in 3-5 years that it is now, due to increased supply. But I disagree that the future of EV's, and more generally that on-site back up battery storage is in jeopardy. What is in jeopardy is the furure of Mother Earth and it's inhabitants. As mentioned by a poster just recently, we just don't know what the future technology might be, but I feel that fossil fuel will be an anachronism and out of date.

     I have worked in the heavy equipment/excavating business for 55 years, and I see and have participated in major changes to the surface of Mother Earth. I may be in the minority as I am a 75 year old observer/investor. But what is occuring is unsustainable.

     Go LAC !! until something better comes along
