Alabama graphite at projected production of  5000 tons of spherical graphite dosent have the capacity to supply tesla it does probably have the capacity to supply the military.It could conceviably suply part of teslas projected 270000 ton requirement of spherical graphite.Everyone on these boards mentions alabama st jean graphite focus and mason.The sleeper no one ever talks about is the forgoten kid on the block nouveau monde and according to projection they plan to produce 50000 tons yearly of spherical graphite in halifax They would have the capacity.By the way they were also at the battery conferance with tesla as were elcora /st jean/ alabama/ and focus there is no mention I could see of mason. I think the winners will be 2 of the 5 They will not pick one supplier and run the risk of production problems
