RE:Precious 45
Nice one... I'm sure we all hope the "P" comes very soon then. I do take your point Graphite is now a "strategic material" and the improvement in battery technology will increase the number of tools/appliances that can be battery powered etc. which in turn improves battery demand.
As an aside I was looking for a new high powered torch recently and one of the hottest topics was battery power/quality, which was also the case when looking for a new phone etc. etc. etc.
Imagine a team of builders no longer using dirty generators but having the ability to hook up to high powered clean batteries, which are recharging via solar and wind power while they're working onsite. I wonder how far off this is?
