While future demand from the automotive industry is significant, the real game changer for the lithium industry may be electrical grid storage. Orocobre Limited is commissioning their Olaroz project in Argentina, and is currently at 68% of its 17,500 TPA full capacity. Southwest is becoming a new hotbed for the lithium industry.

The electricity usage for the 1,42,054 onshore wells that supply oil to India is over 1,415 GWh a month! And the percentage of clean energy is growing every year as coal and gas plants are being replaced by renewable energy sources. Lithium is a metal that is mined in the deserts of Australia, China, Argentina, and Chile.

The underlying assumption is that the world will immediately use whatever oil can be pumped from the ground, and that supply is independent of demand—that is, oil exploration investments bear no relation to the current oil price or expectations of future demand. Recent trends suggest that a demand-driven peak is increasingly plausible.
