THE LITHIUM GLUT : MORAL HAZARD OR EXISTENTIAL THREAT?

WILL SOARING LITHIUM PRODUCTION IN AUSTRALIA DRIVE MURDOCH & TWITTER TO BUY INTO TESLA ? 
THE RECENTLY REPORTED RECOVERY OF LITHIUM FROM SEAWATER AT A COST BELOW CURRENT PRICES  SUGGESTS THAT GLOBAL OCEAN RESERVES OF LITHIUM, SOME 180,000,000,000 TONNES COULD SUFFICE TO RRAISE THE ROLLING STOCK OF THE HUMAN RACE TO 396 TESLAS PER CAPITA

 HOWEVER,  NORTH/SOUTH CLIMATE EQUITY DEMANDS PARKING SPACE REPARATIONS.

AS TESLAS ARE FIVE METERS LONG, THIS ENTAILS SOME 16,000,000,000 KILOMETERS OF CONCRETE ROADBUILDING, WITH A CARBON FOOTPRINT OF TEN THOUSAND TONNES OF CO2, PER KILOMETER.
 AS EACH PPM OF ATMOSPHERIC CO2 EQUALS 7.82 GIGATONNES, THE 80 TRILLION TONNE INCREASE WILL RAISE ATMOSPHERIC CO2 FROM ~ 404 PARTS PER MILLION  TO ~ 10,634.

CALCULATING THE RESULTING  ANTHROPOGENIC INCREASE IN GLOBAL TEMPERATURE IS LEFT AS AN EXERCISE FOR THE READER


THE MORE ACUTE EXISTENTIAL THREAT THE LITHIUM GLUT POSES IS DEATH BY HEATSTROKE AS THE WORLD IS ENCASED LIKE AN ARMADILLO IN BLACK SILICON SOLAR CELLS ENOUGH TO POWER THE TESLAS AND AVOID THE LOOMING DOOM OF STARVING TO DEATH STUCK IN RECHARGING STATION GRIDLOCK UNENDING
