this is plain stupid. sodium is far far more common in the earth than lithium. if you're worried about sodium not being renewable, then by that logic you should stop using lithium batteries right now.

Yes, I understand. I already posted that I was under the impression that we have shortages of the stuff, since we had shortages in Canada. But it was due to a labour dispute, and not a lack of resources.

And yes, I think we should reduce our use of lithium batteries, or at least only use recycled lithium.
