Coal could become a major source of the metal lithium, according to a review of the geochemistry by scientists from Hebei University of Engineering in China published in the International Journal of Oil, Gas and Coal Technology. Indeed, the extraction of lithium from coal would offer an ironic twist to its continued use.

Oil accounts for most of this decline as, for the first time, global consumer spending on oil is set to fall below the amount spent on electricity. Global investment in oil and gas is expected to fall by almost one-third in 2020. At the same time, many national oil companies are now desperately short of funding.
