could add to my blog that automatically tweet my
newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like
this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some
experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything.
I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new
updates. https://parbriz.net/luneta.php

I hope readers, including Ms Meyer, bear fully in mind the horrible environmental consequences of solution mining for lithium in the unique high “salas” of South America.
Of course, lithium ion batteries are a Nobel Prize-worthy invention but their exponentially rising use in electric vehicles, boosted by foolish and short-sighted Governmental policies, will cause a supply shortage of the other “energy” metals, including lithium by the middle of the coming decade.
Here is the advice given by eminent Earth Scientists to the UK’s Climate Change Committee in June this year https://www.nhm.ac.uk/press-office/press-releases/leading-scientists-set-out-resource-challenge-of-meeting-net-zer.html
China has scooped a dominant fraction of the Global mining, refining and trade in all the critical “energy” metals and very likely will not care greatly about these matters if unrestrained by local concerns. Climate alarmists need to be very careful about what they wish for.
