She discovers that the asteroid contains trillions of dollars worth of metals. Instead of diverting it, she attempts to fragment the asteroid and recover the metals. The president’s moves could be a warning about the potential of lithium. Lithium is in short supply due to electric vehicles (EVs), which require battery power.
Don’t Look Up is a record-breaking movie that may inspire investors. It has been watched for 330 million hours, making it the most popular movie in Netflix history. It could also signal record gains in lithium prices.
