    The problem is we need the cobalt and lithium, and domestic production of that is hard to come by due to lack of deposits, and the deposits we do have are being railroaded by environmental lawsuits. Damned if do, damned if you don’t. We can’t even log off forests that are already dead from beetle kill. So taking advantage of 3rd world kids is the only option.
