I read an interesting article which indicates that maybe the path we're on to make our cars electric isn't such a great idea after all.
Per the article, over half of the world's lithium ore (used to manufacture the batteries used in most electric cars) is found in the tiny South American country of Bolivia. A country which happens to be un-apologetically anti-American and anti-West. Its current President nationalized the country's oil and natural gas production and has sparred with US litium interests.
It seems like we're likely to have an uphill battle with electric cars as well.

If anyone finds any articles on this topic, I'd appreciate other viewpoints on the lithium debate.
