@tard @fluffy @nanook China's got a lithium surplus, which we do not have. We have Venezuela. Until we have solid-state hydrogen fuel cells (another thing that we have worked out in prototypes but have not turned into mass-produced devices; I think 10-20 years back, right, the guy used some alloy that was good at binding hydrogen to store energy in a stable state; right now hydrogen fuel cells are like nitroglycerin and ideally we can develop TNT).
