Tesla announced plans to switch to LFP battery cells for its standard battery packs in October 2021, and both companies are following in the footsteps of Chinese electric vehicle and battery manufacturers. The technology has been generally promoted in China, and as battery researchers Roskill have noted, around 95% of LFP cathode manufacturing is based in China. Eliminating cobalt means reducing reliance on suppliers where forced labor is still a concern. Cobalt extraction is still largely concentrated in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where it is linked to human rights abuses and child labor. [from the internet]

Yet another ask a question rather than answer the question post.
Why did China heavily invest in developing LFP batteries but our Department of Energy offered lip service?
Yet another non-answer, another change the subject, another post dodging truth and foisting a strawwomen argument.

MY EV, a hybrid, has almost a 500 mile range. A Volt or 2023 Prius Prime can meet daily average driving needs without using any gasoline.
BEV's can meet about town needs and plug in Hybrids can meet long range driving needs today. But neither has home grown LFP batteries, which will in the future enhance safety and lower cost.

@Van I think you are refusing to answer my question, even with an "I don't know", because you know that answering it would destroy your advocacy for electric vehicles, knowing that the American people can't afford them, and other than rich people, the only ones that can even attempt to do so currently have to be heavily subsidized by the American taxpayers.
Yet another effort to change the subject to my behavior.
Returning to topic: Here is the question:

Yet another off topic post finding fault with me, and running from the question.

No, not at a cross purpose at all.
I believe we should have a small federal government. The smaller the better. That does not mean no government.
I still believe a laissez faire capitalistic system will ultimately fail. That is not at a cross purpose.
The government is very involved in a laissez faire capitalistic system. It is involved in preserving that system.
The difference here is I believe we should have a small federal government BUT that that limited government still has a responsibility and duty to its citizens.

On the three powers - the police, the military, the courts - yes. But that should be it, especially on the federal level.
Turns out that in the hurricane, folks are finding out that they burn up when drenched with salt water, which provides a path for the electricity in the battery.
