Elon Musk Tus Miner? Tesla Founder Implies Nws tuaj yeem tshwm sim

Hauv tweet tshaj tawm hnub Friday lig, Twitter tus tswv lag luam loj tshaj plaws, Tesla tus tsim thiab CEO Elon Musk, implied hais tias "insane" cov nqi ntawm cov minerals tseem ceeb rau kev tsim khoom ntawm nws cov khoom kab ntawm lub tsheb muaj nws xav txog kev nkag mus rau hauv cov mining thiab ua lag luam nws tus kheej.

"Tus nqi ntawm lithium tau mus rau qib siab," Musk, tam sim no ranked #1 ntawm Forbes List of World's Billionaires, tweeted. "Tesla tej zaum yuav tsum tau nkag mus rau hauv cov mining & refining ncaj qha ntawm nplai, tshwj tsis yog cov nqi txhim kho. Tsis muaj qhov tsis txaus ntawm cov khoom nws tus kheej, vim lithium yuav luag txhua qhov chaw hauv ntiaj teb, tab sis qhov nrawm ntawm kev rho tawm / kho kom zoo yog qeeb. "

Musk tau teb rau tweet hauv qab no luam tawm los ntawm tus Ntiaj teb ntawm Statistics, documenting lub exponential nce nyob rau hauv Lithium tus nqi nyob rau hauv xyoo tas los no:

Tus nqi rau cov pob zeb tseem ceeb no tau nce 1,200 feem pua ​​​​hauv ob xyoos dhau los, qhov tseeb uas ib feem coj mus rau Tesla's tshaj tawm ua ntej lub lim tiam uas nws yuav tau nce tus nqi rau nws Model 3 EV los ntawm € 7,000, rau ib tug US sib npaug $ 54,838. Qhov nce ntawm tus nqi yuav ua rau lub tuam txhab German cov neeg siv khoom tsis tuaj yeem nkag mus rau ib feem tseem ceeb ntawm tus nqi-sensitive € 9,000 kev pab nyiaj pub dawb los ntawm tsoomfwv German, ua rau Model 3 txawm tias tus nqi qis dua hauv khw.

Tus Qauv 3 tus nqi nce los ntawm pob taws ntawm tus nqi nce ntawm qee lub tuam txhab lwm cov qauv, thiab los ntawm kev sib tw automakers. Tus nqi nce nrawm nrawm rau lithium thiab lwm yam tseem ceeb xws li tooj liab, cobalt thiab lwm yam tau yog tus thawj coj tsav tsheb rau cov kev taug kev hauv EV tus nqi.

Nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb kom nco ntsoov tias lub ntiaj teb no yog nyob rau theem pib ntawm qhov kev hloov tshiab ntawm kev thawb EVs (yav dhau los ua tsis tau tejyam sim ua li ntawd mus tas li rov qab mus rau lub xyoo pua 19th). Nws yog tsawg dua ib xyoos dhau los uas Lub Chaw Haujlwm Saib Xyuas Hluav Taws Xob Thoob Ntiaj Teb tau tshaj tawm tsab ntawv ceeb toom tias, kom ua tau raws li lub hom phiaj tseem ceeb, muaj peev xwm tsis muaj tseeb tau teem rau EV kev txhim kho los ntawm tsoomfwv hauv Asmeskas thiab Europe, kev thov rau lithium yuav nce 4,000 feem pua ​​​​los ntawm 2040, nrog kev thov rau lwm yam minerals nce apace.

Kev muag khoom EV thoob ntiaj teb tau nce siab nyob rau xyoo tas los no, nce mus txog ntau dua 6.8 lab nyob rau xyoo 2021. Nyob rau tib lub sijhawm, kev thov rau cov roj teeb lithium-ion siv los ntawm EV kev lag luam kuj tau nce ntxiv ntsig txog lwm yam kev siv. Nrog rau txhua yam uas tshwm sim thaum lub sijhawm muaj kev cuam tshuam loj ntawm cov saw hlau cuam tshuam los ntawm COVID-19 kev sib kis thiab lwm yam, kev nce nqi ntawm cov pob zeb tseem ceeb no yog qhov tsis txaus ntseeg.

Hauv tweet tom qab ntawm tib cov xov, Musk tau hais ntxiv tias "Peb muaj qee lub tswv yim zoo rau kev rho tawm lithium kom ruaj khov & ua kom zoo dua qub." Nws tsim nyog hais txog ntawm no hais tias lub zeem muag CEO tau txaus siab rau lub peev xwm xav tau rau nws lub tuam txhab los txhim kho nws tus kheej kev siv zog mining txij thaum tsawg kawg 2020, thaum Fortune Magazine tau tshaj tawm tias Tesla tau tswj hwm kom ruaj ntseg nws tus kheej txoj cai mining hauv Nevada tom qab muaj peev xwm cog lus kom tau lub tuam txhab mining poob los ntawm.

Raws li tsab ntawv ceeb toom ntawd, Tesla "tau muaj kev sib tham nyob rau hauv lub hlis tsis ntev los no nrog Cypress Development Corp., uas tab tom nrhiav kom rho tawm lithium los ntawm cov av nplaum deposits nyob rau sab hnub poob Nevada, tab sis ob tog tsis ncav cuag ib tug deal, cov neeg hais tias, thov kom tsis txhob muaj npe. vim cov ntaub ntawv tsis yog pej xeem. Lub tuam txhab hluav taws xob lub tsheb, uas tau cog lus tias yuav txo nws cov nqi roj teeb los ntawm 50%, es tsis txhob tsom mus rau txoj kev npaj uas Thawj Tswj Hwm Elon Musk tau piav qhia lub lim tiam dhau los txhawm rau khawb lithium ntawm nws tus kheej hauv lub xeev. "

Yog li, mus rau hauv kev lag luam mining ntawm nws tus kheej yog ib lub tswv yim uas tau pom tseeb tau ua rau ntawm Tesla tau ntau xyoo tam sim no. Thiab nyob zoo, Musk's SpaceX venture xwb ntse nqa peb cov neeg siv khoom them nyiaj thiab tus qub astronaut mus rau qhov chaw nres tsheb thoob ntiaj teb lub lim tiam no, tib lub lim tiam nws qhib nws lub tuam txhab. loj tshaj Gigafactory nyob rau sab hnub tuaj ntawm Austin, Texas, ib mais-ntev qhov chaw uas tau tsim nyob rau hauv kwv yees li ib xyoos thiab ib nrab.

Yog tias nws tuaj yeem ua tiav cov khoom no, vim li cas ib tus neeg tsis ntseeg tias nws tuaj yeem ua tiav lub tuam txhab mining?
