THE Armageddon Chart & the Renewable Options

Want to see an image that predicts financial and industrial collapse on a global scale? 

What you’re looking at is a chart of lithium demand compared with lithium supply. It’s as basic as it gets and illustrates a problem unlike any other the world has faced in modern history. Now, this chart comes with a companion, which you can see below:

This graphic, tracking the price of lithium over the past decade or so, is the direct result of the first chart and proof that this catastrophe is already underway. Now, to add some color to this theory, let me draw a parallel from recent history. 

Since the turn of the 20th century, some of the biggest armed conflicts and some of our farthest-reaching policies have been guided by the quest for oil in one way or another. 

Oil is the reason behind all of our excursions into the Middle East. Oil is the reason Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, which plunged the U.S. into World War II. Oil is a major part of why the USSR and Germany ended up on opposing sides of that same war. Oil is why Iran and Iraq spent eight years destroying one another. Oil and gas are why Russia remains a global power and not a largely irrelevant dusty backwater.

Any way you look at it, control over fossil fuels is behind just about every global alliance and conflict right up to today. Because oil is what drives the modern world, it is therefore also the most important strategic resource known to man. 

Today, lithium is replacing oil as the world's premier energy storage medium, but, unlike oil, which provides the energy that motivates our heavy machinery, lithium drives absolutely everything. 

And it's not just cars, buses, trains, and ships. Lithium drives our personal wireless devices — all 16 or so billion of them, as of this year. It drives the tiniest machines, which we keep in our pockets, and now it drives the biggest machines as well. Lithium's importance is universal — so much so that the comparison to fossil fuels is woefully deficient in expressing its importance.

In the next decade, as demand continues to skyrocket on the heels of the electric vehicle revolution, we’re going to be stuck in an ever-expanding deficit.

An Addiction That's Just Starting

We need more lithium. I can’t put it much more plainly than that. We need a lot more of it, but with current production methods, it simply isn’t there. Lithium takes too long to locate, too long to mine, and too long to process. 

Even if an energy company were to find the world’s biggest lithium resource today, it would be at least five years or so before battery-grade lithium would leave its facilities...This means we need a solution that’s no less revolutionary than the global lithium changeover itself. 

Whoever finds such a solution and is able to deliver millions of tons of lithium to end users faster and more efficiently is going to rake in untold wealth. In the process, the balance of power will shift — the same way it did when the nations of OPEC took the reins of the oil market in the mid-20th century. 

Now let me tell you about two technologies that can totally upset this Lithium card. Supercapacitors and Magnetic Generators. 

The Super Caps as they are commonly referred to are already here. They will revolutionize a great deal of the Battery market. Companies like Skeleton Technologies, Encap, and SuproEnergy among others are already entering the global market. Supercaps charge fast, usually within 30 minutes, they do not emit heat and do not explode, as we have seen in some of Telsa's cars, they are slightly lighter and 100% recyclable. Add to that that they last more than 40 years and can be charged from any energy source, i.e.,,, solar, wind, thermal, wave, or simply from the grid. In China, buses are equipped with them and function as a transit system that does not require expensive infrastructures such as rail lines etc.

Magnetic generators are devices that generate electrical energy using the principle of neodymium magnets. These generators are one of the many alternative energy sources that have been developed to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and other non-renewable sources of energy. The idea behind magnetic generators is to create a device that can produce electricity without the need for any external input, such as fuel or sunlight.

The concept of magnetic generators is not new, but recent advancements in technology have made them more efficient and practical. These generators work by using the magnetic force generated by neodymium magnets to create a continuous flow of electrical energy. The magnets are arranged in a specific pattern to create a magnetic field that rotates around a central axis. This rotation generates an electrical current that can be used to power various devices.

One of the most significant advantages of magnetic generators is that they are environmentally friendly. Unlike traditional power plants that rely on fossil fuels, magnetic generators do not produce any harmful emissions or waste products. They are also renewable, as the magnets used in these generators can be recycled and reused.

Another advantage of magnetic generators is that they are cost-effective. Once installed, these generators can produce electricity for free, without any additional costs. This makes them an attractive option for people who want to reduce their energy bills and save money in the long run.

In conclusion, magnetic generators are a revolutionary new way to create free energy. They are environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and can provide a continuous flow of electrical energy without any external input. While there is still much research to be done in this field, magnetic generators have the potential to become a significant source of renewable energy in the future. In early 2024 Water Energy Group SA (www.wegenergy.com) will introduce the first commercial unit to the market place and that should get the ball rolling for others to follow suit. The next five years will be exciting and should surprise us with many other wonderful solutions.

Important for all of us is to keep a sharp eye and know what is hype and what is factual. The lithium crusade will continue till the elastic snaps, in the meantime watch your investment strategy, and if you are into lithium stocks watch them like a hawk.
