I went on a ride through the internet and saw some figures that lithium production would need to increase by 40X by 2040.

But that's still only 7.2 million tons/year.

I feel like the where are we going to get the lithium and but what about the environmental costs arguments to be kind of weak when you look at actual production numbers and compare the costs with other resources we consume.
