YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Lithium demand has been increasing for years thanks to the lithium ion battery. Now, that demand looks set to explode as many nations set new targets for reducing their carbon emissions. Given this, we might well wonder - could we actually run out of the stuff? Join us today as we explore projections for our lithium use and what it all means for the future of our society.

Written & presented by Prof David Kipping. Special thanks to Marc-SJ for fact checking.
