That's been my assumption too, that battery pricing is probably holding steady in the near term due to supply issues and increasing demand. My crystal ball is a bit cloudy looking out into the future.

I think we're going to have to automate a lot more labor if we're really going to start manufacturing a bunch of stuff here, because nobody wants to work and those that do think their labor is worth a lot more than it is in a global marketplace.

Those that want an earth not impacted by humanity will have to get over the fact that mining battery minerals entails changing the earth.
