What's more valuable for lithium, environmentally: use in EVs or (even if they have a net-positive fustion reaction) use in a fusion reactor that is virtually guaranteed to not be LCOE competitive with even existing nuclear?

It'd be interesting to look at how much lithium is required by a fusion reactor compared to the electric cars that reactor could keep supplied with electricity. I suspect the reactors would have a pretty small effect on lithium availability for cars.
