But what about the lithium??
Goldman projects Lithium production will outstrip demand by 2025 as new operations come online. Similar dynamics will unfold across the rapidly expanding EV and battery supply chains. The next few years will be VERY interesting...

Where did the cold Arctic air go? Check out the East/Central US & Canada.
