China is hitting the West where it really hurts, or at least showing that it can. The People’s Republic announced on Friday it will impose export licence requirements on some graphite products that go into electric vehicle batteries. It's a tit for tat, following fresh U.S. curbs on chip exports. With nearly all the global processing capacity of the iron black stuff in Chinese hands, global carmakers will struggle to diversify.

I have an idea....Let's let the .gov force car manufacturers make a product 87% of the public does not want, runs on something we don't have enough of, built out of materials that our enemies control most of, and can only make a profit if subsidized to the hilt by the taxpayer. I think I'll call it an electric vehicle.

Ever seen what a typical battery bank looks like.....Does that look envro-friendly to you?
