A lot of interest in the recovery of lithium from geothermal brine in the Salton Sea recently; this may interest shareholders here:

I have posted about this before, but this article adds more detail:

https://singularityhub.com/2022/03/23/how-geothermal-plants-could-solve-americas-lithium-supply-crunch-boost-ev-battery-industry/

"If test projects now underway prove that battery-grade lithium can be extracted from these brines cost-effectively, 11 existing geothermal plants along the Salton Sea alone could have the potential to produce enough lithium metal to provide about 10 times the current US demand."

Ifs and buts for sure; but if they get a working design and national security backing, the value of other lithium projects will be significantly impacted. There might be potential in Cornwall, as the brine there is lithium rich [CUSN?].

He is 'richi' through his wife's money and her family's company are not boycotting Russia. EVR shareholders must be delighted his money is safe.

'North Korean leader Kim Jong Un guided the successful test-launch of a new “powerful tool for nuclear attack” called the “Hwasong-17” intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on March 24, 2022 as part of efforts to “contain” the U.S., state media reported the next day.'

Gustavo Petro left leaning politician expecting success in Columbian elections at the end of May. He will not be friendly to big business in Columbia and will build alliances with neighbours to move economic benefits to citizens and away from businesses. Expect higher taxes, more stringent environmental legislation and enforcement, less liberal licensing of mines and oil extraction etc.

Another war commentator; quite good.

Kenny,

Just days ago, BJ compared Brexit / the divorce from the EU to Ukraine fighting a live or die war against Russia. And it was not just a slip of his lazy tongue; it was in a scripted speech. The comparison did not go down well and was lazy politicking waving to play into the culture wars he uses to bolster his political appeal at the costs of friendships across the Channel.

Did you expect him to be welcomed as a friend after painting his EU counterparts as 'war criminals'?

Yamaha have launched a second generation electric trials bike - the battery "is reported to have 2.5x more capacity than before with only a 20 percent increase in weight". That is a stonking improvement in 4 years.

Do you really think that the Dear Leader (praise be his name) is not a sharper operator than you? When he sniffs enough of a rise he will sell billions of share-coins, flooding the market and leaving optimistic traders beached on the Long Term Holder peninsula.

Good luck with timing your escape; you might need all the help you can muster. The presence of too many who have been near fatally spiked in the past limits future spikes on optimism as they come onto this board with hateful comments that make mine seem as unabashed ramps.

Richy-Rich Sunak will try and bribe the red-wall monkeys in the Autumn Budget. The £20 a week Universal Credit uplift will be reinstated but for winter only / a temporary hike until the next Spring Statement.

mick-b,

Is it coming out of the ground yet? Is it likely that GOV would interfere with the "free market" and make any fertiliser available cheap here?

At least it will help with balance of payment issues in due course.

Putin Demands Ruble Payment for Gas, Escalating Energy Fight

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-23/putin-wants-hostile-states-to-pay-rubles-for-gas-interfax-says?srnd=premium-europe

Putin wants the Rubles to prop up that currency; He either sells it to Europe or it stays in the ground. Fück him, stop buying it and wasting it on things like heating greenhouses to grow flowers. Without gas money, his GOV will implode, and he will be toppled.
