JOIN US AND
Energy independent lithium for the US grid and manufacturing is here
The 26 quadrillion gallons of water
in America’s domestic brine basins
contain enough lithium to power America’s
industrial needs for 50 years.
A new era of energy security at less
than half the cost.

Plug & Socket
Beyond the 400 million phones, tablets and laptops we use every day, lithium plays an essential role in the USA’s strategic needs for supply of energy storage systems

THE TRUE COST OF ENERGY STORAGE

LITHIUM/TON:

$069,099

CO2 TONS/YEAR:

13.263801

Plug & Socket
99% of the lithium used in the US is arduously mined in China, Australia and South America, and then refined in China

THE TRUE COST OF ENERGY STORAGE

LITHIUM/TON:

$090,360

CO2 TONS/YEAR:

22.103730

Plug & Socket
with substantial environmental impact

THE TRUE COST OF ENERGY STORAGE

LITHIUM/TON:

$130,225

CO2 TONS/YEAR:

34.001301

Plug & Socket
and thousands of miles of global shipping adding to the cost

THE TRUE COST OF ENERGY STORAGE

LITHIUM/TON:

$199,855

CO2 TONS/YEAR:

52.702330

Plug & Socket
even the small percentage of U.S. mined lithium gets shipped to China and back before use.

THE TRUE COST OF ENERGY STORAGE

LITHIUM/TON:

$454,217

CO2 TONS/YEAR:

83.308101

Plug & Socket
giving other nations undue influence over American energy reserves and storage
