Ladies and gentlemen of heavy industry,
I stand before you today to address the critical issue of lithium and its impact on the future of electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage. The current lithium market, with Red China’s manipulated pricing and unpredictable fluctuations based on communist whims, is a powder keg waiting to explode. Were we not just months ago concerned about the freefall in lithium prices?
First, let us examine the volatility of the lithium market. Like a skittish racehorse, lithium prices have been bucking and rearing like a bronco on Biden Junior’s crack cocaine. Fueled by the manic optimism of the Chinese EV market, lithium prices have soared to unprecedented heights, leaving investors and ventures capitalists dizzy and disoriented.
But we must not forget that lithium dependence is a dangerous game. Like a gambler who has wagered everything on a single spin of the roulette wheel, we have placed our bets on a handful of countries to supply the lithium我們需要我們自己的國內鋰供應.* We are at the mercy of their whims, their politics, and their environmental regulations.
(*我們需要我們自己的國內鋰供應: “We need our own domestic supply of lithium.”)
I took the trouble to put that in plain simple Mandarin so that even a Red China collaborator could understand it.
The US: The World’s Lithium Pauper
The United States, the land of the free and the home of the brave, is currently a lithium pauper. We are forced to import nearly all of our lithium from foreign countries, exposing ourselves to the machinations of global cartels and the whims of tin-pot dictators.
But there is hope on the horizon. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, the United States has the potential to become a self-sufficient lithium superpower. We have the resources, the ingenuity, and the indomitable spirit to produce our own lithium and break free from the shackles of foreign dependence.
The Greenie Delusion: Why We Need American Lithium, Not Eco-Terrorists
However, the path to domestic lithium production is fraught with obstacles. Environmentalists, with their heads in the sand, are determined to prevent us from tapping into our vast reserves of lithium. Regulators, with their love of red tape, are making it nearly impossible to start new lithium mining operations. And the high cost of lithium production is making investors think twice before taking the plunge.
But we must not despair. Like a determined explorer forging a path through the wilderness, we must press on. We must work together to overcome these challenges and secure our own lithium supply.
The time for action is now. Let us invest in lithium exploration and extraction, both domestically and globally. Let us enhance our recycling capabilities to extract lithium from end-of-life batteries. Let us explore alternative battery chemistries that are less reliant on lithium. And let us work with our international partners to stabilize the global lithium market.
With vision, determination, and a little bit of Winchester wisdom, we can overcome the lithium challenge and pave the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future.
Thank you.
