Elon's dreams for TSLA are about to be shattered
A new technology just made conventional batteries obsolete...
Because it uses ZERO lithium.
Instead, this battery technology is powered by a unique "heavy metal" — one that’s far more abundant than lithium.
MI Container Image 1
Thanks to this new battery technology — Tesla is about to go down in flames.
See, these "heavy metal" batteries last 40 TIMES LONGER than lithium batteries...
Boasting a lifespan of 25 YEARS or MORE, making it far more durable than any lithium battery...
And it can be recharged endlessly without any loss in capacity or performance...
It can be easily scaled up to offer UNLIMITED energy storage capacity...
Best of all, it's non-flammable so it poses ZERO FIRE RISKS!
Which is why "heavy metal" batteries are about to be deployed across the globe...
Positioning one tiny company at the epicenter of a $23 trillion energy revolution.
The U.S. Department of Energy is committing nearly $40 million to funding the nationwide rollout of these company’s groundbreaking batteries...
Forbes calls these batteries the "energy storage breakthrough we’ve needed"...
And this company is primed to absolutely blow away any gains ever paid out by Tesla.
So there’s no time to wait. The time to get in is NOW.
See the "heavy metal" batteries making Tesla obsolete.
Fortune favors the bold,

New Alloy Has Properties Thought to Be 'Nearly Impossible'
Aliyah Kovner Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory April 23, 2024
A metal alloy composed of niobium, tantalum, titanium, and hafnium has shocked materials scientists with its impressive strength and toughness at both extremely hot and cold temperatures, a combination of properties that seemed so far to be nearly impossible to achieve.

The Nb45Ta25Ti15Hf15 alloy will need to undergo a lot more fundamental research and engineering testing before anything like a jet plane turbine or SpaceX rocket nozzle is made from it, said Ritchie, because mechanical engineers rightfully require a deep understanding of how their materials perform before they use them in the real world. However, this study indicates that the metal has potential to build the engines of the future.

It's not pumping if your not dumping. Just supporting the project and advocating for the construction of the mine. The mine will be good for local, state and national economies, jobs, tax dollars, State of NE, local community businesses, the environment and of course long term shareholders who bankrolled the company to stay afloat while they waited for financing so they can earn a nice return on their investment which they deserve.

Critical Minerals for the Sustainable Energy Transition
A Guidebook to Support Intergenerational Action
UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE
Low-carbon energy technologies, such as electric vehicles (EVs), battery storage systems, wind and solar power plants, are generally more mineral-intensive than their fossil fuel counterparts. This heightened demand for minerals is driven by their integral role in various components of these technologies: a typical EV requires six times more mineral inputs than a conventional car, while an onshore wind farm requires nine times more minerals than a gas-fired power plant of the same capacity.
Aside from battery minerals, Rare Earth Elements (REEs), such as neodymium, dysprosium and praseodymium, are key ingredients of permanent magnets (magnets that retain their magnetic properties over an extended period without external influence), used in high-performance wind turbines and electric motors.6 Global wind power capacity additions are expected at an annual average of 77GW from 2020 to 2029, according to Wood Mackenzie. This represents a growth of 112% in global installed capacity from 2019 to 2029. In terms of REE consumption, this equates to an average increase in global REE consumption of 15,400 tonnes per year in wind turbines alone,
a clear indication of robust growth in the global REE market.

Mark didn't provide much information about the timing, especially after emphasizing that it's a very complex administrative process where Niocorp itself needs to provide a lot of substantive information (Mark said literally: we need to teach them). However, he did suggest that it would indeed be a significant feather in the cap for the government and an extra motivation to wrap this up before the elections. I feel and hope (personal interpretation) that it will be resolved before the summer break so that we can start a steep climb in the share price. After the presentation, I had a very positive impression, and to sum it up briefly, this is my feeling: The whole financing is a complex domino game where all the pieces are now in place (Mark showed very confident about that!); once the first one falls (= EXIM), everything else will proceed very quickly. I hope my impression is correct...

Hi The_Gman, During the presentation, I understood that the 'Equity investments' might only come after the approval of the EXIM financing. Regarding the EXIM, it was mentioned that there's a strong likelihood the organization would prefer to have it sorted before the elections (November 5), and certainly before the inauguration of the new president (January 20, 2025). The 'Strategic Investments' (primarily Stellantis) are subject to internal management decisions, and currently, there's some movement within Stellantis (a lot of turnover at the top). The Dept. of Defense hopefully decides to invest 10 million for further development of the ScAl alloys by mid-summer. No hard deadlines or dates were given but Mark clearly plays on several fronts to get things going.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory - Critical Minerals Recovery from Electronic Waste
PNNL researchers achieve sustainable recovery of minerals from e-waste
23-Apr-2024 5:05 PM EDT
The research team, which included materials scientist Chinmayee Subban, who also holds a joint appointment with the University of Washington, first reported in February 2024 successfully separating two essential rare earth elements, neodymium and dysprosium, from a mixed liquid. The two separate and purified solids formed in the reaction chamber in 4 hours, versus the 30 hours typically needed for conventional separation methods. These two critical minerals are used to manufacture permanent magnets found in computer hard drives and wind turbines, among other uses. Until now, separating these two elements with very similar properties has been challenging. The ability to economically recover them from e-waste could open up a new market and source of these key minerals.

André Tiedje: “Price target 116”
(Translated by a free online service, no assurances of accuracy.)
March 5, 2016
If Elliott waves produce similar predictions to fundamental observations, then it might be worth combining the two...
In recent years, the stock market has increasingly degenerated into a plaything for political actors. In view of the current situation in Europe, the upcoming state elections in three federal states and in the wake of the increasingly pressing problems of our unfunded debt money system, it is to be expected that this trend will accelerate massively.
We announced these developments here years ago and have repeatedly commented on them in detail. But the individual will do little to combat the emerging misery. Therefore, it probably makes more sense to develop solutions instead of constantly pointing out the escalating problems. Ultimately, this costs a lot of nerves and achieves nothing.
For this reason, too, we have been focusing more on the topic of “sustainable investing” in the countercyclical stock market newsletter for some time. Here we introduce our readers to companies whose products make our world a little better.
These can be manufacturers of renewable energies, companies that optimize production processes from an ecological perspective, or that generally pay attention to the ethical and sustainable orientation of their business areas. There are a number of companies that we are monitoring in this context. And there are more and more...
We noticed the Canadian NioCorp Developments (NB.TO) in this context some time ago . Regular readers of our comments will remember. In my personal opinion, the small company is one of the most promising raw material investments in the world.
A few key details:
NioCorp is in the process of developing Elk Creek, the only niobium deposit in the United States. Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse are supporting the Canadians to fully finance the project. In the past, the company's managers had repeatedly made massive purchases of their own shares - a very important point.
But what is so interesting about niobium and what does “sustainable investing” mean in this context?
Even in the lowest concentrations, the mineral can significantly increase the strength of steel. A pleasant side effect: stainless steel becomes significantly lighter. This is particularly important in the automotive industry. Here, a mid-range car can be slimmed down by around 100 kilograms by adding niobium worth just $9.00. This results in fuel savings of around five percent.
“Incidentally,” so to speak, significant amounts of scandium were also found in Elk Creek. In aluminum production, similar effects can be achieved as in steel production with niobium: When using scandium, aluminum becomes significantly lighter. Think here, for example, of possible fuel savings through lighter aircraft....
The figures for Elk Creek presented some time ago are remarkable:
A recent study estimates the project's net present value (NPV) to be $3.07 billion. After taxes, the NPV is $2.3 billion. Annual cash flow is estimated at $438 million. The latest figures are a striking improvement on previous data. As recently as May last year, an NPV of around $1.1 billion and an annual cash flow of $178 million were assumed. Current market value of NioCorp: 134 million CAN dollars...
But that's not all: the United States currently has to import 100 percent of niobium. That could change with Elk Creek...
It goes without saying that shares of the Canadian company have been lying dormant in my portfolio for some time: Because I prefer to ride my bike, I'm happy when lighter cars emit fewer exhaust fumes into the air. Of course, the fuel cell drive, in which pure water comes out of the exhaust, is far more ecologically sensible than the classic combustion engine and whose development we are also closely following in the anticyclical stock market newsletter. In both cases, however, weight savings through lighter steel are important because less energy is required...
This is where André Tiedje, mentioned in the headline, comes into play.
Because we always come to very similar assessments despite completely different analysis methods, I asked André to take a closer look at NioCorp shares.
I can reveal that my colleague was really excited when he told me about his wave count. You can see the result in the following chart:
Our Elliott Wave expert is certain about one point, and I quote: “NioCorp will reach triple digits, for sure”. Specifically, André Tiedje assumes a price target in the range of 116 CAN dollars for our little raw material pearl. Closing price on Friday evening: 0.80 CAN dollars. If I have calculated correctly, an investment of 10,000 euros should, if successful, turn into around 1.4 million euros in a few years. This roughly corresponds to the performance of the legendary US index trader that André is responsible for.
But the striking thing is that, from a fundamental perspective, one can arrive at very similar results and price targets. This becomes particularly understandable when you look at the following statements on the subject of scandium on the NioCorp website . The facts are extraordinary.
In addition, after five years of a commodity market slump and against the background of the monetary system problems, it is time for a broad-based change of tide in the sector, according to the motto: Flight into real assets. And then everything is possible.
This leads us to our final note: Because André Tiedje and I always enjoy combining our strategies with each other, we are currently in the process of developing a concept for collaboration. Maybe together we can uncover more pearls like this little NioCorp.
You can be excited...
