      I can almost see it since it’s a non consumer company, but why title it little known and then highlight that it is the largest battery manufacturer in the world?

    I’m not going to register to read the article but I’m guessing the US is shitting itself now that (lithium) battery resources are quickly becoming as important if not more important than oil and surprise-pikachu they’re way behind in the new game because they’ve been clinging to the past.

      In which way is the US behind any other country in lithium batteries? In which way is the US “clinging to the past” in this area?
