It's TV News briefly for Tuesday 12th of September. I'll be back as usual at 5pm UK. That's Midday

Eastern for the full podcast, but Patreon supporters will they get the episodes first? And as soon as I've

US Volcano houses the world's largest lithium deposit in a groundbreaking discovery.

Scientists have pinpointed a substantial lithium reserve inside the McDermott Caldera, an extinct volcano on the Nevada-Oregon border

that could supply the U.S. lithium needs for decades. Recent data from a new survey,

spotlighted by the DOE in the U, says that for those people with electric vehicles, the average person driving 8 to 10,000 miles a year with an average consumption, about 4 miles per kilowatt hour, it isn't even their most used appliance.

People who own EVs, but also have air conditioning,

And so Monday to Friday, they actually work 24 hours a day. And who says EVs are no good for commercial vehicles? China is amping up their EV infrastructure last month alone in

August. They added 61,000 public charging points, but for the life of me, I can't find the DCAC split,
