It’s all about promoting another economy of batteries and electric cars. It will take a lot of carbon emissions to dig and refine the 132 lbs of copper needed per electric car. As a matter of fact not enough copper, cobalt and lithium currently is on the books to do it.

New mines will need to be found and will require massive diesel excavators, giant diesel trucks and smelters spewing carbon to achieve the goal.

“While cars using internal combustion engines require up to 23 kg of copper each, the ICA report found that a hybrid electric vehicle uses nearly double that amount at 40 kg of copper, and a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle uses 60 kg.”

These boys are in the process of finding and providing the new metals, Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are the primary shareholders.

KoBold Metals is investing in battery materials projects across the globe by combining basic ore-deposit science, big data, and scientific computing with patient private capital.
