Lithium Batteries: More Dangerous Than AR-15s?

Every year in the U.S., lithium-ion batteries cause about 5,000 fires, many of them particularly deadly and destructive. Every year in the U.S., lithium-ion batteries cause about 5,000 fires, many of them particularly deadly and destructive. The only way to prevent this is a complete redesign of the battery — and the race to do that may have already been won.   [Wealth Daily]      Alex Koyfman / Jun 06, 2023 Lithium Batteries: More Dangerous Than AR-15s? Dear Reader, Magazine-fed semi-automatic rifles, commonly referred to by mainstream media hysteria-mongers as "assault weapons," are used in a few hundred murders annually in the U.S. All rifle types, in fact, account for only between 2%–3% of firearms homicides and an even smaller proportion of total deaths (including accidents and suicides). [gun violence] This may fly in the face of the picture your mind forms after spending many hours on many days watching the news, but the fact is that this has been the trend for as long as gun violence trends have been tracked. Now, don’t get me wrong… An AR-15 in the wrong hands is an absolutely terrifying concept to behold, but given the rarity of its use as a weapon of terror, is it really the deadliest durable good readily available to the American consumer? Every year in the U.S., lithium-ion batteries cause about 5,000 fires, many of them particularly deadly and destructive due to the speed and explosiveness that lithium-ion batteries combust. UNLOCKED: A $2.1 TRILLION Lithium Mother Lode It’s the largest lithium discovery in human history... Forbes calls it “the Saudi Arabia of lithium.” The Harvard International Review says it holds “more than 75% of the world’s supply.” Thanks to a powerful new lithium extraction technology, this mammoth deposit has just been unlocked, making it available at scale for the entire globe... And creating enormous investment opportunities as demand surges to unseen heights. [Go here for the details.]( A Time Bomb in Your Pocket Nobody knows when or how the next battery will catch fire. What we do know is that it will happen about 15 or so times per day, with the rate increasing each year. So while military-style rifles may be deadly in the hands of a psychopath, lithium-ion batteries are deadly in any hands at all, and there are very few regulations on the books designed to deal with the problem. Anyone can buy them. Anyone can modify them. Anyone can misuse them. Anyone can take an old and damaged lithium battery, "refurbish" it, and put it back out into the market. In NYC, where there are on average about four lithium-ion fires every week, the No. 1 culprit is poorly maintained e-bike batteries — of which an estimated 25,000 roam the city. The bigger picture, however, is far more disturbing... According to Statista, as of 2021, there were over 21 billion wireless devices online across the world. That’s 21 billion potentially deadly incendiary bombs in the hands of consumers, and that doesn’t even count the bigger-ticket items like electric vehicles, trains, and distributed energy storage systems — all of them running off the same Li-ion reaction. The reason modern lithium batteries have this reputation is easy to explain. Within each lithium-ion cell is a liquid matrix called "electrolyte." Flawed by Design It’s through this liquid that electrons pass from anode to cathode. Unfortunately, when heat is applied to the battery — which happens routinely during charging — that electrolyte can seep oxygen, causing more damage to the battery, which in turn generates more heat during charging. [lithium battery] This is called "thermal runaway," and once sufficient heat is applied, it will end in a fire.  The only way to prevent this is a complete redesign of the battery from the ground up — and the race to do that may have already been won. A company you’ve probably never heard of, operating out of a Brisbane research facility, has spent the last couple years perfecting a virtually indestructible next-generation battery that has no liquid electrolyte and, in fact, no lithium either. Civilization Could Crumble Without THIS Oil Basin... Despite advancements in renewable energy, the world still desperately needs oil. Even Elon Musk admits that without it, “civilization will crumble.” And right now, a devastating oil shortage is looming, threatening to dismantle our society. But an untapped basin in West Texas containing 46 BILLION barrels of oil could fill that gap. Three tiny companies leading this $5.9 trillion oil boom could hand early investors a mountain of cash.

Charge Your Battery Faster Than You Can Pump Gas The benefits are too numerous to fully delve into here, but that charge time alone represents a game-changer for the EV industry —whose main stumbling block so far, in terms of mass consumer adoption, has been charge delay. Like I said, the company behind all this is still an unknown, but that is about to change. Just last month, it signed a collaboration agreement with Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO), a $100 billion mining giant, to develop large-scale batteries for use in industrial heavy machinery. If these batteries can tackle needs as demanding as Rio Tinto’s, they will more than exceed any consumer requirements. This battery company is already public and valued at a meager US$130 million — about 1/2,000th what the lithium-ion battery market is projected to be worth by the end of the decade. Starting to see the opportunity yet?

Just five years ago, seeing a Tesla or other EV on the road was a rare site. Now? It feels like they’re everywhere. The infrastructure is even becoming readily available, with plug-in stations in just about every city and town across the United States. What was once a promise of tomorrow is now a reality. And EVs aren’t going anywhere. I’ll admit, it happened faster than anticipated. But after seeing the latest incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act, it all began to make sense why things were moving so quickly... [inflation-reduction-act]( While the bill became law in August 2022, investors are getting ready to reap some of the rewards starting this June 21. You see, the Inflation Reduction Act has a very interesting section on energy subsidies and incentives. After digging even further, I discovered an income opportunity within the bill that seemed too good to be true at first. But it’s not. There is a way for investors like you and me to get a piece of the $563 million being paid out. In fact, some of the world’s savviest billionaires are already getting in line. But you don’t need to be a billionaire to get a piece. In fact, it’s probably way easier than you think.
