Tony Seba: Lithium Race And Why Warren Buffett Is Betting Huge On Disruption of $12 Trillion Industries?



  Because the colour is Green, but not just any green - it s the colour of money. We are entering into the next explosive stage of disruption for the $12 Trillion Energy and Transportation industries. Tony Seba is brilliant as usual, but this video stands out even among his perfect presentations. Every sentence, every bullet point is like a nail into the coffin of subsidised, unsustainable any more Energy and Transportation industries based on burning Oil and 100 years old ICE technology spitting cancer hazard emissions which are slowly killing us all. Numbers are mind boggling and logic is precise, invest next 30 min to save you from poverty for the next 30 years. Oil, Coal, Nuclear and even Gas and Biofuels will become obsolete, totally dominated by Solar and Warren Buffett is the largest investor in Solar now already! I am writing for years about his connections to BYD and Chinese electric cars and lithium batteries markets. And now Tony Seba repeats that all cars will be electric very soon. I was following Tony Seba for years building our International Lithium company. What is the difference now? Big money are coming in, the tide is coming. Listen to the numbers and now try to squeeze all those Trillions of dollars into Solar, Electric Cars, Batteries and Lithium for them.






  Tony Seba: Solar today is 1% of total Energy generation in the world. Solar generation now is 200 times cheaper than in 70s. Solar is technology and the price of Energy generation will go down. Cost of Lithium batteries is going down 16% every year. By 2020 the average household in America will be able to store energy for 1 day for $1.  Fossil Fuels get $5 Trillion in subsidies all around the world with all market being $8 Trillion. By 2025 all new vehicles will be electric. Transportation is 80% of Oil usage. If Solar continues to double every two years, we will have all the U.S. powered by Solar in 14 years. All the energy used in the US can be generated by Solar today in the space equal to a square 100 miles by 100 miles, which is 10,000 sq miles. Today Oil and Gas produces 30% of the U.S. energy and uses 15 times more space in leases. In the U.S. we have 15,000 sq miles in parking space. Solar canopies on all parking spaces in the US can generate all energy for the U.S. When all cars in the U.S. will be electric, we need only 10% of all parking space to generate enough energy by Solar to power them for 1 year.

"Mr. Kirill Klip, President, International Lithium Corp. comments, “The Avalonia project joint venture, fully funded by strategic partner Ganfeng Lithium Co. Ltd., (“GFL”), could be of strategic importance to the European Union should a sufficient resource be identified. Clean fuel technologies for motor vehicles are becoming increasingly important to the European Economic Community to tackle climate change and the air pollution crisis in major urban areas. Lithium technology will play a major role when it comes to providing batteries for communication devices, electric vehicles and utility storage systems. Renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind power will also benefit from lithium battery technologies and become more commonplace as the problem of intermittency will be addressed providing steady power from these sources 24/7.” Read more."



Green Technology Energy Metals In Canada: International Lithium Mavis Lake Presentation.






   With GM Bolt and Faraday Future unveiled at CES 2016 and Tesla Model 3 coming in March, Lithium Technology is in the headlines these days and getting finally on the investor's radar screens. Today I would like to present International Lithium's  Mavis Lake Lithium and Tantalum project in Canada. Our J/V projects with Ganfeng Lithium: Avalonia in Ireland and Mariana in Argentina are better known: we are advancing another $4 million exploration programs on these projects now. Mavis Lake presents another very important opportunity for development of potential source of conflict free strategic commodities in politically stable Canada. We are talking here about the security of Lithium Supply for the West now. With our J/Vs with Ganfeng Lithium solidly on track for the development, we are concentrating now on the Strategic Partnership to build the Next Lithium Producer in North America.



 "I am glad that Apple looks like not to be involved in this project and we still can hope that it will reach 1 Trillion Market Cap with its own electric car catering mobility powered by lithium technology with bottled electricity to the masses. The real game changer is coming this year with Tesla Model 3, GM Bolt, BYD and Tesla Gigafactory with Megafactories to follow."

Smart Grids: EDF Launches Energy Storage System In Illinois Using BYD Lithium Batteries.


InsideEVs.


  All recent lithium hype, which is now sipping into the mainstream media is generated by electric cars with sales still below 1% of the world-wide auto sales. We are at the very beginning of this fundamental shift from burning Oil to the Energy rEVolution based on Solar, Wind and Lithium Technology to store energy. In Energy space we have The World Just Before the INTERNET. 
  Sales of Electric Cars are going exponentially and finally good ones are coming for the mass market: GM Bolt and Tesla Model 3 will ignite the next phase of EV adoption. What can be the best ad for the new technology than Tesla driving next to you? Only a lot of them and in different colours. 
  Now we are opening the new chapter of Energy Storage and Warren Buffet's BYD is already in the headlines again. Lithium technology allows to leapfrog the Grid stage straight into the Smart Grid of Distributed Energy Generation. Places like Africa, India and China can now save a few trillions of dollars by following mobile communication networks making fixed telephone lines business obsolete. Lithium is the magic metal at the very heart of this Energy rEVolution.


International Lithium At Wentworth: Back Into The Future - The World Just Before The INTERNET.

  



  I would like to share today with you my presentation at Wentworth last week. International Lithium Team was on our European roadshow and we have visited Ireland as well during that trip. We were very fortunate and proud to meet  hero Kevin Michael Vickers - the Ambassador of Canada to Ireland. You can find more pictures on my tweeter feed and stay tuned for the coming developments. 
  Our Mariana lithium J/V with the giant from China Ganfeng Lithium will benefit now from the election results in Argentina and we are looking forward to advance it to the pilot stage. In my presentation I am using material of the very talented team from Benchmark Minerals Intelligence headed by Simon Moores. He is a must follow with Joe Lowry if you would like to be up-to-date with the developments in the Lithium Market. Now let me take you for a journey into the future, which is already here:






BBC Video: How Volkswagen Fooled The World With A Scam To Rig Pollution Tests And They Do It Again.





International Lithium – A Green Technology Metals Company Plugged In The rEVolution Of Energy.


  
 "In 2012 WHO has reported about the Diesel Pollution As Cancer Risk, last week EU governments have pushed to DOUBLE toxic cancer hazard diesel emissions limits and postpone their implementation. Are we hitting the new low in Europe now, which will bring the total distrust and disrespect to all EU government institutions? All North American readers should watch Europe very closely now. Which shoe will drop next? The ugly truth is that it seems that nobody of auto-makers can comply with any toxic emissions standards under the real driving conditions.
  Latest news from Volkswagen has just moved us from DieselGate to a full blown AutoGate: It is not only NOx cancer hazard diesel emissions, but CO2 as well. It is not only Diesel, but Petrol as well and it is not only Volkswagen … Just wait for the new revelations to come and watch how Electric Cars are taking over in the largest auto market in the world in China first and then spread like a wild fire all over the world. Who will benefit and who will fade into oblivion? You can make your own decisions with the facts presented on my blog.

EDF Launches Energy Storage System In Illinois Using BYD Batteries.

EDF Renewable Energy announced in February the commercial start of operations for its first battery energy storage project in North America – specifically in McHenry County, Illinois (beginning December 20, 2015).
The 20 MW (22MVA) system (no MWh numbers detected) was supplied by BYD America. BYD delivered both the lithium-ion batteries and power electronics.
“The energy storage system, located in McHenry County, Illinois, added 40 megawatts (MW) of flexible capacity (20 MW nameplate) to the PJM Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) and will participate in both the regulation and capacity markets.”
According to the press release, EDF Renewable Energy now has over 100 MW of ESS in development across North America, while EDF operates some 800 MWh worldwide (from long duration storage to frequency response).
“An EDF Company, recently spun out of EDF Research and Development, EDF Store and Forecast has developed control software that utilizes advanced forecasting tools to precisely predict solar and wind production either in concert or stand alone with energy storage. This technology allows rapid management of state of charge of the system to meet system critical applications for energy storage. EDF S&F adds value to this space and leverages over 800 MWh of batteries installed worldwide across a range of applications from long duration storage to frequency response. This combination of EDF companies brings the much needed strength and experience to the market as utilities are exploring the potential for energy storage.”
“EDF Renewable Energy acquired 100% interest in the project late in the first quarter of 2015 from Chicago-based GlidePath Power; construction commenced in June 2015. The system is interconnected at the distribution level into Commonwealth Edison Company (ComED). The battery and power electronics were supplied by BYD America, consisting of 11 containerized units totaling 20 MW (22MVA) and is performing at expectation.
EDF Renewable Energy is one of the largest renewable energy developers in North America with 7.8 gigawatts of wind, solar, biomass, and biogas projects developed throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.”
Ryan Pfaff, Executive Vice President of EDF Renewable Energy said:
“EDF Renewable Energy is pleased to have reached commercial operation of our first battery energy storage system in the US, building upon the EDF Group’s substantial experience with grid-connected batteries across multiple markets. Through the provision of fast-response frequency regulation services, battery-based energy storage can facilitate the cost-effective integration of intermittent, renewable energy resources into the grid, and is therefore highly complementary to our core renewable generation business.”

Lithium Race From "Clean Diesel" Scam: Daimler Investing €500 Million Into New Lithium Battery Factory In Germany.

  



  We have great news from Germany for all our EV industry. Daimler has figured out that they need batteries for Electric Cars! We have to wait just a few years more and they will find out that they need Lithium for those batteries as well. By that time our International Lithium Avalonia J/V with Ganfeng Lithium in Ireland can be already in production as well. Perfect timing? I do really wish so and keep my fingers crossed. I guess that Tesla Model S outselling BMW 7 and Audi 8 has got Daimler's attention? It will be even more interesting when Tesla takes over Mercedes S class as well.
  Finally, inevitable admission is coming to the Great Autos from Germany. After all the games with Hydrogen and wasted billions, they had decided to advance their "Green Initiative" with the help from our dear corrupted politicians by creating the "Clean Diesel" myth. Few hundreds of billions have been wasted now again; and several hundred thousands of air pollution related deaths later they have to move to the only viable solution: electric cars. Let's see how fast they can deliver now after years of talking. I have seen first production ready electric cars in 2009 in Frankfurt from all major brands. Now with Volkswagen sinking into oblivion under the mounting legal and compliance expenses of the Dieselgate, they have to think hard how to stay relevant, when people just stop buying 100 years old technology to poison their own kids with cancer hazard pollution from all type of ICE cars.


DieselGate: Daimler US Lawsuit - Mercedes BlueTech Diesel Emits Nix At Levels 65 Times Higher Than Those Permitted.



  
  

  "We have a sequel to our Volkswagen DieselGate. After total disgrace demonstrated by EU Parliament when they DOUBLED the limits for auto-makers we can safely state that nobody of auto-makers can really comply with any cancer hazard toxic diesel emissions standards. Read more."


Volkswagen DieselGate: EU Failed Us - Parliament Agrees To Double Cancer Hazard Emissions From Diesel Cars.  



  "You have been warned: Diesel Cars with Double Amount of Cancer Hazard Emissions are allowed now in EU to drive next to you, or maybe even you are driving one as well? Actually, it is even more - nobody can comply with the tests in the real road conditions anyway. At least now you know how democracy works in Europe under Auto Lobby management. Very unfortunately, I am not surprised at all at this decision. Wide spread corruption among our "servants for the people" is killing not only the true nature of capitalism system, but thousands of people literally. It is a total disgrace to allow lobbyist on behalf of companies like Volkswagen to rule our lives and decide how many should survive. But nothing is lost, vote with your wallets - Volkswagen sales in U.S. are dropping like a stone by 15% in January. It is quite stupid after all to pay your own money to poison you own kids with cancer hazard pollution from "Clean Diesel" and "Not-So-Dirty Petrol" cars. There is The Solution: Lithium Technology is here and cheaper lithium batteries change everything for electric cars, solar and wind power generation. Read more."


BMW i8 Spider Concept: BMW, Please Get Serious And Buy From Tesla Full Electric Powertrain.




  
  What can I say here? This concept of BMW i8 Spider is just beautiful, but what can bring it to life fast? When BMW and other Big German Autos will have strength to endorse Electric Cars for real? The wasted billions on Hydrogen and "Clean Diesel" are not helping management to embrace the change, but maybe shareholders can demand it? You cannot just build your business plan on corrupted politicians preventing us all from progress and clean air to breath as a result. 
  Reality is that any level of any pollutions being it Diesel or Petrol are harmful for our health. We have Lithium Technology to address it. If Tesla can make it from scratch with Elon Musk, why Great German Autos cannot do it? Just go and make a strategic alliance with Tesla, get the full electric powertrain matching your 21st century design, build next Lithium Batteries Gigafactory in Europe and more Tesla Supercharges and bring us mass market for electric cars moving down the models and pricing range. In my ver personal opinion for BMW just to stay relevant in the next 25 years, it should not be just a wish from any "Green" BMW shareholders, but must be government backed plan to save German Auto Industry. Just hiding the facts about cancer hazard toxic emissions is not working any more. Volkswagen will never get over it, BMW still has a chance. The worst for all of us outcome will be in case of German government saving German Autos by killing German kids with deadly pollution and all those auto jobs just going back to China again.


"The pain is coming, you can't stop it. Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) will be dying with Fossil Fuels. It is just the law of nature. Electric Cars are better and they will become cheaper as well  very soon. We can make it as a pain of growth, but who will make it?  All these jobs for The Next Industrial rEVolution could be here, not just going again to China. Germany with its brilliant engineers can produce lithium batteries and electric cars and it can happen in every country. It is all here, with all numbers on the links below. Just spread the word.

The German company Daimler AG will be putting €500 million into the creation of a second lithium-ion battery production facility in Germany, according to recent news from the company. This new facility will produce lithium-ion batteries to be used in electric vehicles and hybrids released under the Mercedes-Benz brand, reportedly.
The decision to build the new facility will lead to a, roughly, tripling of Daimler subsidiary Deutsche ACCUMOTIVE’s production space. The new production facility will be located adjacent to the existing one, in Kamenz, Germany. Daimler has already bought around 20 hectares of land next to the other facility, in anticipation of construction.
Daimler
The Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, Dr Dieter Zetsche, commented: “To get closer to fully electric driving, we keep investing big in the key component of emission-free vehicles: powerful batteries. We are now devoting another 500 million Euros to build a second battery factory in Germany. This underlines our commitment to the consistent expansion of electro-mobility.”
Green Car Congress provides more:
By the end of 2014, the Daimler subsidiary had already announced its plans for a significant increase in its production capacities and an investment of around €100 million (US$109 million) in the expansion of the existing battery factory. The groundbreaking ceremony for the new factory is planned for fall 2016. The topping-out ceremony will then follow in spring 2017. The new production plant is to start operations in summer 2017.
In addition to supplying batteries for Daimler automobiles, Deutsche ACCUMOTIVE is also entering the stationary battery storage market for private and industrial applications. Daimler entered into the business with stationary battery storage with Deutsche ACCUMOTIVE last year. The scalability of the systems enables the use of the lithium-ion batteries in large industry for network stabilization and smoothing of peak shaving for energy producers as well as private households. Deutsche ACCUMOTIVE, founded in 2009, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daimler AG. The company develops and sells drive batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles based on lithium-ion technology. Since the start of series production in 2012, it has delivered more than 70,000 lithium-ion batteries.
Daimler is currently in a supply agreement arrangement with LG Chem.

Wentworth Heritage Group: Call For Rejection Of Wentworth Club Proposals At EGM.

Dear member, 
Despite prolonged attempts at finding a solution so that existing 
members can remain at the club, Reignwood remain intransigent. This has 
resulted in the resignation of many long standing and devoted members. 
The Club is being sucked dry of its heritage. 
Of the three memberships: Golf, Tennis & Health and Social, Golf 
membership is the most expensive and some golfers may be natural targets 
for Reignwood’s debenture. However, Wentworth has developed into a 
country club and Tennis & Health is actually the largest membership 
category, but pay less. Additionally, the social members comprise many 
long standing and loyal members who rely on the club as their social 
hub. We owe a duty to all members that they shouldn’t be abandoned. 
You may well have seen the various press articles over the weekend 
highlighting the issues we face. The response by the Club was in the 
form of an article by Mr. Ni that we feel totally misrepresents the 
views of the vast majority of Wentworth club members. The articles are 
available at this link: 
WHG recently carried out a survey of Wentworth members. The concept of a 
debenture was rejected by 97% of respondents and Tennis & Heath members 
were only willing to accept a fee increase of up to 10% for the promised 
improvements to the facilities. Tennis and Health membership fees are in 
line with expectations and there is no realistic prospect of this 
membership category participating in a debenture. The WHG is therefore 
taking a tough line with management defending this group’s interests. 
The belief is that if members reject the debenture, Reignwood will have 
no choice but to back down. 
In the last week our Tennis and Health Captain, Kirill Klip, has been 
summoned, by Club management, to a disciplinary hearing for representing 
the views of the majority of members, as demonstrated loudly and clearly 
in our survey. A further survey, the results of which are available on 
the link below, clearly set out that members support Kirill and actually 
believe it is Reignwood that has brought the club into disrepute. 
Unfortunately, the legal and disciplinary threats have not yet been 
withdrawn by the Club. 
We would like to thank you for this fantastic show of support for Kirill 
and ask that any further written support is forwarded to the following 
email address: 
clubmanagement@e-business.com 
Please put SUPPORT KIRILL in the title of your email. Your response 
will automatically be forwarded to Club management. 
We are now able to confirm that an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) 
of Wentworth Club members will be held in the WC Ballroom on Tuesday 
22nd March at 8pm. The purpose of the meeting will be to communicate the 
progress being made in the challenges to the Club’s proposals, and to 
ask the membership to vote on a series of motions that will shape our 
on-going strategy. Please attend in person with your family. We need as 
many members as possible to be there to express their views and send the 
strongest possible message to Club management. 
To help us gauge the number likely to attend the EGM please respond to 
this email at the following email address: 
EGM@e-business.com 
Please put ATTEND EGM in the title of your email and specify the number 
of family members who will attend in the body of the email. 
We will provide further updates about the EGM as soon as we have them. 

Kind Regards 
Wentworth Heritage Group
