- global lithium reserves - Abundance of Common Materials
- At 20 ppm of the earth's crust compared to silicon, they are 1/10 that of carbon(200 ppm by mass). There is plenty of carbon for everyone.
- For silicon - 20 ppm by mass, with crust at 1% mass, earth mass of 6^24 kg - then .000020 of 6^24 is 6^19 kg.
- Lithium in seawater is under 1 ppm, but there are 230 billion tons of it. That means for the suggested peak population of 10B, each person has more than 20 tons of lithium. One car requires only
- About 10% of each bat is lithium.
