      Now i know Australia has been having some trouble with conservatives recently and is overrun with emus, but i’m not sure the entire country counts as a bloody dictatorship yet.

        @sonori yea, not all suppliers of Lithium and other produce for modern batteries are bloody dictatorships. But sadly the whole world does not rely solely on them.

          True, but the largest suppliers are democratic countries, and scale does matter in this type of conversation.

          Nothing stopping you from investing in moving up the value chain except a lack of government interest in doing so.
