Summary of the video: Demand for Lithium and other minerals required for the production of Li-ion batteries is set to rise massively in the next decade as countries ban IC vehicles. Prices for them are rising, and new mines are opening. The Thacker Pass Lithium Mine is especially mired in environmental concerns. One alternative, Solid-state batteries, is promising, but requires a lot of bootstrapping to get to the scale that EVs will need.
