FOTW #1225, February 14, 2022: From 2016-2019, over 90% of U.S. Lithium Imports Came from Argentina and Chile | Department of Energy.
As of 2023, 94% of lithium still came from those two countries. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://pubs.usgs.gov/periodicals/mcs2024/mcs2024-lithium.pdf (I imagine Canada MAY be part of the 'other' at 1%.)
Comments above are not intended to be a defense of battery golf cars, or a discussion of golf cars in general for that matter (I have gas golf car). I just want to point out that the OP is based on a false premise. I will retract if documentation can be provided that indicates the less than 1% of Canadian lithium is used specifically for golf car batteries. |
Doesn’t fit the narrative of the outraged crowd who see no value in getting a better deal from Canada for trade and border protection.
