[Rockhounds] New "Energy Miracle" substance

[Erich F. Kern]

Lithium does not produce energy. In various configurations it is merely a 
storage medium.

Like the gasoline additive that promises to boost your MPG. Can't get 
something from nothing in a 2 oz. squirt bottle :)

The talk about "New "Energy Miracle" substance" is just hype by people to 
sell stocks. That having'
been said, although lithium [called "white oil" by the stock mongers :-) ], 
is an extremely useful component of lithium batteries for electric cars, 
consumer electronics, other applications and is a very valuable commodity in 
energy storage. It is not a fuel.

an interesting article is:
