Whitepill me on lithium, /sci/.

I've heard it suggested that we're going to face Peak Lithium, that there is nowhere near enough lithium mining capacity, or even lithium readily available to be mined to meet the exponentially increasing battery demands, especially as countries begin converting their entire vehicle fleets to EVs.

However, legislatures and industry leaders both seem to be ignoring this entirely, and are quite happily embarking on decades long, trillion dollar lithium-dependent projects with the assumption that virtually all fossil fuel transit will be electrified in the next few years.

So they know something I don't, right? A shitload of lithium is gonna show up somewhere like aluminum did in the interwar period?
