This article seems mostly nonsense to me. It is poorly researched and seems to conflate different solar technologies and their problems with one another in a purposefully confusing way.

Minor metal byproducts of major 'base' metals, which were discarded as waste or for which the mine did not get paid by the refiner are rapidly growing in importance and may represent enough added value to allow for the re-opening of marginal mines.

Is GM planning to introduce and sell the Chevrolet Volt in November, 2010, at a loss? Probably. Even 'Maximum' Bob Lutz admits that the car might sell at a loss 'for many years.' The irreducible costs are not in the raw materials for a lithium ion battery. Lithium is actually rather cheap. They are...

For the last ten years as the center of the OEM automotive industry's growth has shifted to mainland Asia we have heard nothing but failure-excusing buzz words from the 'leaders' of the OEM American automotive industry. Legacy costs, health care, and, just now, as they finally admit it, raw material...

Survival of their nation's industrial base and industrial independence has sent Japanese companies on a hunt for critical natural resources. When will American's wake up to the damage to out domestic economy that ignoring this issue has already caused and the impending disaster if we do nothing about...

Luckily for the free world the US is the world's largest producer of the metal molybdenum. Rhenium is contained as trace element in both the primary molybdenum ore mined in North America-which is responsible for 40% of North American molybdenum production-and in the molybdenum itself contained...

The GM EV1 battery powered car, which used lead-acid batteries, went 90 miles at 60 miles an hour on an overnight charge. It was discontinued nearly 20 years ago for lack of customer interest, said GM, at the time. What advantage does the 2010 or 2011 Chevrolet Volt have over this 20 year old techn...

It is impossible to believe that either Toyota or lithium battery developer A123 think its a good idea to modify an existing Prius into a plug-in hybrid by having a dealer install a system based on an A123 battery. Toyota cannot stop its independent dealers from charging gullible environmental activist...

Toyota and Honda have both announced in the last month that they will use nickel metal hydride batteries in their hybrid vehicles for the near term, at least for the next five years, and perhaps well beyond that. Toyota has also announced that it will dramatically ramp up nickel metal hydride battery...
