Sounds like Arkansas needs a hurricane. Just what it sounds like. Don’t twist.

If we’re going to get granular with it we lost the Rose Bowl and Cotton Bowl back to back.
It’s not like the guy was jonesing for a Cotton Bowl win.

Re: Researchers say Arkansas may have 19M tons of lithium critical for battery power
There's more lithium in Nevada, possibly double the amount of what is in Arkansas.
From what I'm reading online, the amount of lithium per vehicle batter pack is 8 - 14 kg. The lithium in Nevada (20 million metric tons, on the low-end) is only enough for 2.5 million cars.
I don't really read much about EV's because I think they suck. That being said, US consumers buy somewhere in the realm of 13,000,000 new cars, annually. It would seem that the world is going to be facing a massive lithium shortage. Solid state batteries also use lithium. Seems like the next generation of battery is going to need to evolve quite rapidly.
