Yep, back to the grid or to the house if the grid goes out.   People could tune 
their policy on the web ahead of time.  But the grid need not go out if the 
grid is distributed.

I am amazed that the total extraction is only 85,000 tons/year now.

If all vehicular transportation does go Li or Li-ion battery-based, we really 
should be planning for all this to be integrated with demand-buffering of the 
grid.  No reason to build a completely separate parallel buffer bank using more 
Li while cars sit with batteries holding charge as if it were gasoline, waiting 
for the next drive.  People will balk because this kind of cooperative paradigm 
is something they are programmed to reject anywhere they notice it.  But it has 
enabled the eusocial insects to survive for a lot longer than humans have, so 
we should assume it will be necessary and adopt as another project how to get 
people used to that fact.

Now that Afghanistan is prepped to be the Democratic Republic of Congo 2.0 
(this time lithium rather than coltan), I suspect that the world is poised for 
a whole new liberal dilemma:
1. Continue to support an oil industry largely responsible for rapid climate 
collapse.
2. Switch to supporting a battery industry that will be largely responsible for 
human trafficking/slavery and child labor.
