  1.  @FreeSpeech-z6j  It depends on the product. It might work for specialty processes like processing ore into lithium (or some form of lithium), but for a lot of generic products it doesn't make sense. China might be finding that out in the near future.

  2. "Peakers' are not just power plants. The natural gas power plant near me has a 'peaker' operation which is trailers loaded with lithium batteries that are charged during the slow power use times of the day for use at peak times. Its more a 'sideload' operations (best descriptive phrase I can think of), sitting there waiting to be drawn upon when folks jump on the web all-at-once to watch PZ videos.

  3. Also realize its a mining operation, and an ore processing operation. Both are environmentally very dirty, destructive, and associated with lots of nasty chemicals and pollution problems. As soon as something like that gets announced the tree huggers will come out of the forests in droves driving their lithium battery powered Teslas protesting to shut it down no matter what mitigation systems are put in place.
