Huge amounts of Lithium found in Cornwall

[johnofgwent]

I stated nothing of the kind, as yet none has been produced and the estimated 4000 tonnes a year is well short of the 59000 tonnes a year the two proposed UK battery factories will need.

The article makes that point itself. Unlike you, however, it does state quite rightly that the current monopoly supply of lithium to the battery industry is in Chinese hands, and this would be a welcome, and healthy alternative source for SOME of that.


Those of us less indoctrinated in the cult of electrification know that in reality until the issue of recycling the black mass inside a lithium ion battery is resolved, the current rush to EV is merely setting China up to rule the world the way we allowed Sheik Yamani to screw us in the seventies, and that the real future is in hydrogen.


We may have to use the fusion properties to deal with China's ravenous appetite for world domination first though ...

Cornish people agree with me so I have nothing to apologise to them for.

Do they? I think you might be finding out differently in the near future, I hear on the grapevine a lot of them are very upset about how you have tried to make out you represent them.

Mmmmm well not before he apologises to the Cornish. But then apparently, he doesn't have to come out.

Don't worry, I don't think Sheepy was really expecting an apology. Perhaps you'll just bow out of the thread, like you do when successfully challenged.

It is me who should have an apology.

You actually posted:

... and even if lithium is found in Cornwall the battery factory will not be built in Cornwall, it will be in Northumberland.
Which I would have thought is something of the kind. You could apologise that you had forgotten.

I haven't forgotten anything.
That has precisely zero to do with the method of extraction and no battery factory is going to be built in Cornwall.
As yet there is no mention of a lithium processing plant either.

No I didn't you started the thread about Cornish lithium and no lithium ore mining will take place in Cornwall.
Frankly you should give me an apology.

Frankly you are a proper can't, you have tried to down the Cornish fishermen over Brexit and laughing at them struggling, you have tried to stop the rest of Cornwall earning a living from tourism and now you don't want Lithium mining or otherwise giving them a survival lifeline. So I just as well call you what you are for them. As they are obviously too polite.

No you didn't you tried to make out ore mining Lithium was not possible

Caw Blimey  it isn't  that kind of mining going to be used in Cornwall.  I have just referenced to the method that will be used here.
Frankly you are too thick and perverse to try and debate with.

No you didn't you tried to make out ore mining Lithium was not possible and then changed tactics on us, we are still digging and if it is there, we will find it. Which will only be future proofing Cornwall which will be to the advantage of the Cornish, which you seem to have a real aversion with, as you seem to spend the best part of your time calling them hopeless cases and revelling in their demise.

[papasmurf]

Do you now, well as you said it isn't that kind of mining and as usual get yourself all caught out.

FFS it isn't  that kind of mining going to be used in Cornwall.  I have just referenced to the method that will be used here.

Sheepy when you know zero about a subject and compound that with personal insults I suggest you shut up.
The Lithium in Cornwall will NOT be mined in the conventional way.

There is a graphic here simple enough for you to understand:-

Do you now, well as you said it isn't that kind of mining and as usual get yourself all caught out. Lithium can be ore mined if there is enough of it.So cut out you will feck up the rest of the Cornish people given half a chance.

[papasmurf]

Don't talk cobblers Lithium can be extracted via ore mining. Ask the Australians.

It won't be dug out it isn't that kind of mining. (There is also plenty of funding for the project.)
