  • EVs have a bumpy road ahead - [1]
  • Tesla Killer - [2]

OSE Assessment

  • Lithium is a scarce and strategic resource
  • Water is abundant
  • EVs are a no go on first principles. I wonder when the world will stop deluding itself on this one. It will prosper in fringe markets such as forklifts, but no it cannot be a mainstream option because there is simply not enough lithium, and lithium mining is an environmental disaster. 
  • OSE is Solving Housing in 2021. In 2023, we are planning on Solving Energy. That means hydrogen as the next fuel of choice.
