Not going to mention the water pollution being caused by this?
EVs are another pointless nett zero exercise,replacing something that is far better.
China doesn't dominate Lithium mining, it dominates the downstream processing of it and battery manufacturing with it.
Forget China or America but most importantly forget the criminal bull shitters(government officials) should be ok
I'm sure there is some toad, or weed, that'll allow labour to deny mining rights.
Then labour can bend over further, grasping their ankles tighter, waiting on their commi dictator China idols.
You know why Australia didn't have a recession after the 2008 financial crisis? Mining.
Snozzel deserves this but don't get your hopes up. British mis-management will see no benefit here for the local or national economy. Any production will run at a loss.
Good news!
Electric energy in cars is already dead
Take away the white to keep the dark, ends up with a white powder π€
They lost me at "clean energy"
if the tories get voted in next election they will sell this off to china like they sold off all our other infrastructure and industries to foreign companies
This is BIG!! Jobs!!
I like how you quickly skipped over the chemical process – is it bad ?? I bet its disastrous.
I hope the Cornish people get to benefit from this, and it's not like the gas fields all over again? I'm not from Cornwall, but I want Cornwall to become wealthy from it's resources like Qatar did
Saving the planet πππππππππ itβs all a scam.
This is comical. All the banging on about the environment while they do all this to keep pushing us into the digital age. If you know anyone who works in a post office, ask them what they have to do if you send anything with a lithium battery. And why. Go and read about its Co2 emissions and the impact lithium mining has on the environment, whilst they keep banging on about co2 emissions. Also take a look at how they complain about Bitcoin mining and energy usage and itβs impacts and then come and tell me how the digital age and Evs (which is one of the things lithium will be used for) is a good way forward. Come and tell me how theyβre not scamming us all.
Rain. Rain rain rain. No wind though, which is nice.
It's not whether you have it, it's whether it can be mined and processed at a competitive price. If it can be shipped in from China at a fraction of the cost it won't be viable. Unless you can persuade Cornish miners to work for Chinese wages.
This isn't about expense, its about national security. The less we rely on an authoritarian government with a mindset focused on global domination (they're already attacking small businesses in the UK with Temu and Shein) the better.
I love how we all pretend we are saving the environment whilst using diesel powered JCBs and tipper trucks to do the work ππ
Don't tell the investments people they sell it off to China at a drop of a hat look what happened to Tata steel industry took the grants and closed it down it should be state owned end of not for a quick profit like every thing else in the UK including water energy oil gas
I thought it was only young kids in Congo that did the mining for EV batteriesβ¦β¦β¦.
DRILL BABY DRILL
(and make a sovereign wealth fund)
Hopefully the profits will stay in the UK instead of abroad but I doubt it.
Net zero will end up closing this mine.
Mining isnt green
Commentary is appalling, contemptuous even.
UK and other western governments made a CHOICE not to invest in EV supply chains 10-15 yrs ago, and now itβs somehow Chinaβs fault they dominate the market??
Next weβll hear itβs Europes fault that Brexit happenedβ¦
And what is the insinuation around βis it green?β Is that journalism? GO AND FIND OUT THE NUMBERS AND TELL US ffs. And is it βgreenβ subsidising Drax? Is it green spending billions in tax breaks for North Sea oil and gas extraction?
If this is βprogressive mediaβ I really have no hope left.
Well this is a good thing as now other countries might want to have our lithium then.
Great, as long as the environment isn't sacrificed.
And to date, how much lithium has been extracted from Cornwall? That's right. ZERO. This is just a begging video for government money.
Comrade Starmer cosy with China π€
until battery chemistry changes due to costs running too high on any part of the recipe of a 18650 cell and the scientists remove the highest cost item and add a low cost item instead…
The up take of EVs in Europe is not faltering, it continues to increase, last month Norway new EV sales reached 95% of total new car sales. Even in the UK EV sales as a percentage continue to grow. China is the biggest producer of processed Lithium, but it is not the biggest producer of Lithium ore. There are vast reserves of Lithium throughout the world, including the States and Australia, Australia being one of the biggest producers. Get your facts right and stop the click bait!!!
They probably put it in the water
Investment must be made for sodium ion batteries. Where lithium needs to be mined, sodium is extracted from seawater, ya know!?
And where lithium hydroxide needs to be specially made, sodium hydroxide is so cheap that you use every day. It's called caustic lime, ya know!?
What do they do with the chemicals when they canβt use them anymore? Hope they donβt dump it in rivers or the sea
Devon (next door to cornwall) might have cobalt as well, Another key metal for batteries, and cobalt currently is only found in the congo
Labour will kill this one way or another because China has paid the crooked sod's and they will follow orders.
nice news to wake up to π
Honestly how dare channel 4 say gold rush about this country.
An opportunity to oppress rip off and subjugate working class populations you mean disgusting.
Technology n raw material is totally different
Yeah, but how much is there? I can't imagine its a massive amount
Better Import Lithium!
Lithium is everywhere you English fools. Now find nickel in England.π
#FactCheck electric vehicle take up is not faltering. *New ev sales have "slowed", but offset by the rapid increase in second hand ev's and we see that ev take up is in no way slowing down.
Lithium is EXTREMELY POISONOUS. so NO!
Natural resources like this in Cornwall should not be used to make profits for companies, like what Norway did with it's oil profits it must go into a fund to invest in the future of that area…I doubt that will happen though it's the UK after all
Get the clay going again at the same time.
Work from home and stop depending on vehicles π
