Sorry, I don't follow miners closely enough to be able recommend any of them.Do you have suggestions for ethical ETF or stocks, regarding litium and Cobalt?
I bought eCobalt and Global Lithium ETF, they seemed more concerned than others to ethical sourcing (North America mines, in my mind, are better than African ones, for example).

And down the road, there will be some cell conflict. I mean, I think if you sort of fast-forward a year or 2, we really need to think about cell production as being a constraint. And some of the (inaudible) going into cell production so they can go a couple of years out, making sure that we have a secure supplies of lithium hydroxide, cobalt. There's actually more amount of cobalt. I mean to say nickel, but yes, sort of...

The module ones that we're operating to assemble the cells into modules are totally separate. So that -- it's this Model 3 module line in that order that we're focused on right now and improving quickly, but the energy module line, in the same building, coincidentally, but it is a totally separate line.

Yes.
From the ER transcript a small mention of resource concerns, seems a bit garbled:

Rather than securing supplies from Turkey, Tesla may be thinking about expanding sales into Turkey. They expand their reach by at least a few countries a year.

Co is a by-product of smelting Cu and Ni-rich ores. Mining/refining is not necessarily considered environmentally benign. I've realized decent (or better) appreciation in all four during this era of easy money--YMMV
Pretty bleak outlook on Cobalt from someone other than Petersen. Petersen of course used this in his most recent article to support his premise.
How credible is this guy (Nick French)? He sounds like he knows what he's talking about. I was also under the impression that Tesla was no longer using much Cobalt, if any. Is that accurate?Pretty bleak outlook on Cobalt from someone other than Petersen. Petersen of course used this in his most recent article to support his premise.
perhaps a flyer of a thousand shares or so in a couple of junior cobalt mining companies maybe? for funsiesTesla is using around 8-9% by weight for the cells I believe, at least in the vehicle packs, (NCA chemistry). Stationary is NMC which is probably more like 30% by weight. I'd say there is some valid concern with long term cobalt production I just don't know to what degree.
you mixing cathode with cell, in NCA Co should be about 8-9% of cathode's weight, about half that in cell's weight. Although Panasonic never disclosed Cobalt content in NCA ...Tesla is using around 8-9% by weight for the cells I believe, at least in the vehicle packs, (NCA chemistry).
