The Potential of Mining and Acquiring Minerals in Battery Manufacturing
Batteries have been around for several decades in some form and they have just sort of gradually improved over time. People have been more recently working on batteries that don't require those minerals like lithium ferophosphate batteries, but also come at a weight penalty. And so if you can both use higher energy density materials and eliminate some of those costly materials that they use for existing batteries, then you can sort of introduce a new shift that curve up to give like a new parameters base to optimize. So I think there's, we've closed to exhausting the gains from like sort of the traditional way of doing things in terms of just continually optimizing the process. And really we're at a point
