Clean Air and Electric Cars: Traffic pollution kills 5,000 a year in UK - Exhaust fumes are twice as deadly as roads

"We are talking a lot about the economic benefits of electric cars here, and that they will be the only economically viable solution for our personal  mobility after the Oil Crunch. Unfortunately, there is another side of the oil - nobody is talking enough about, oil kills and not only on the battle fields far away during the "liberation" military occupations, but literally on the streets every day. If this price was seriously accounted among the other considerations about electric cars, we think, that our tipping point for the mass market for electric cars would be already here.

  We all have the right for the Clean Air, but why not on the streets? We do not think that the air quality in Los Angeles is any better than it is in London - all mega cities in the world are killing thousands of their residents by allowing to drive ICE cars slowly day by day."

Peak Oil: Reporter - The end of the Oil Age

CNBC: Lithium - Big Money Banking on Bull Move in This Metal

"Now CNBC is joining the Bloomberg and Barron's with our Next Big Thing - Electric Cars and strategic commodities to make it happen - Lithium, REE and Graphite. Big players must have been already positioned themselves at the Sector Low and waiting for the general public to wake up with Tesla Model S in the headlines. You still have the luxury of building your own collection with Lithium Juniors, which are in a  depressed state of the mind today."

Reinventing Fire: The Business-led Transition Beyond Oil and Coal To Electric Cars and Alternative Energy

Can we make it this time? Will we buy our own technology, but made in China again? We are slipping dangerously behind the point of no return, blindfolded by special interests towards impending Oil Peak and following it Energy Crunch.

Reinvent Fire: Change Energy Use Forever And Enjoy Electric Cars!

"Reinventing Fire: Bold Business Solutions for the New Energy Era offers market-based, actionable solutions integrating transportation, buildings, industry, and electricity. Built on Rocky Mountain Institute's 30 years of research and collaboration in all four sectors, Reinventing Fire maps pathways for running a 158%-bigger U.S. economy in 2050 but needing no oil, no coal, no nuclear energy, one-third less natural gas, and no new inventions. This would cost $5 trillion less than business-as-usual—in addition to the value of avoiding fossil fuels' huge but uncounted external costs."

Lithium Rush: The Art Of War In The Markets: China Getting Ready For 5 Million Electric Cars by 2020

"China has the money, political will and the technology to leapfrog into the post carbon world. Oil is the geopolitical issue already and it will define the sharp edge between the state of War and Peace in the nearest future. As one very wise and honest  person has put it: "How to stop wars and terrorism? - Stop using Oil." We will paraphrase it here: How to Survive? - Stop using Oil - at least for transportation.

  Electric Cars produce the one life time opportunity for China now - do not get us wrong, not everything is driven by the ancient wisdom of "The Art Of War", but just look at what people are doing and not what they are talking about.  It is the most apparent situation  in the strategic commodities markets - Rare Earths are already controlled by China, Graphite is under the siege and Lithium is the next frontier. Despite all noise in the media, China is steadily implementing its 12th Five Year Plan - to build the new strategic industry based on Electric Cars.

  We hope, that China is transforming "The Art Of War" into the Art Of Survival for the benefit of all, but the Western world which is teared apart by the latest financial structural crisis is falling dangerously behind now."

We have published this video from Fully Charged TV before, but this is very important message to listen to it again.

  Fully Charged TV is the great place to get the latest information about the real Electric Cars. Robert Liewellyn is making amazing job publicizing and promoting life with EV as it is happening now. Quality of production and his style will make a benchmark to the major TV studios. Tune in and enjoy!

  In this episode you can see the technology behind the Electric Cars first hand and place of Rare Earths in the technological breakthrough, which allowed Electric Cars to happen. The first step was with the new Lithium battery technology, which we are covering here on this blog.

"Lithium Supply: Competition draining Japan's hold on battery materials market. Lithium and Rare Earths are at the heart of the technological revolution today and they will be the basis for the new industrial revolution based on Energy Transition from fossil fuels. Electrification of the transportation will lead the way and provide new investment opportunities. All major industrial players are busy making M&A deals in the lithium space in order to secure supply of the critical materials in the future. Korean and Chinese companies are coming very aggressively into Lithium sector as well now."

"Lithium Charge: Bottled Lightning: Superbatteries, Electric Cars, and the New Lithium Economy. Finally, we have the first book about the Lithium economy and Electric Cars - this Bull is still in its infancy now, just look around - how many Electric Cars can you see. For us it is like Gold and Silver in 2003 when nobody cared about it. This mega trend - Peak Oil multiplied by Inflation - will be even more powerful. Ugly Truth about diminishing Oil supply with constantly increasing demandwill make its way to the headlines again with higher Gas prices. Be prepared and tell the others - this time is coming and we can be ready for it. Time to act is now."
