  1. I toured an abandoned nickle mine Nevada. It shut down because the price of nickle was too cheap, not because they ran out of nickle. As for cobalt, please tell me any industry where using child labor is more efficient than modern machine methods. ie., it does not have to be that way. Congo is a f**ked up country. For lithium mining, the reason Australia is becoming more important is because Bolivia and Chile both have issues with inefficient mining practices and socialism. Finally, I have been to a refinery. Making gas, and drilling for it, is an incredibly dirty process. Apples and oranges and all that.
