Yeah, they'll need to build 30 more plants like this in the US [[450 new factories that size world-wide), and then strip mine the entire surface of the planet looking for the lithium and blood minerals needed.

Then come up with an entirely new technology in 20 years after the entire surface of the earth has been destroyed by strip mining.

It turns out, saving the environment is hard.
