Ngokusho kwenhlangano yezindaba , ingqungquthela evaliwe isanda kubanjelwa eWashington ngokuhlanganyela kwabameleli bakahulumeni wase-US, izishayamthetho, abameli, izinkampani zezimayini kanye nenani labakhiqizi. Imibiko evela kuhulumeni yafundwa abameleli boMnyango Wezangaphandle kanye noMnyango Wezamandla. Besikhuluma ngani? Impendulo yalo mbuzo ingase ibe ukuvuza mayelana nombiko womunye wabaphathi abakhulu beTesla. Umphathi wokuthengwa kwempahla emhlabeni wonke wakwaTesls wezimpahla zokusetshenziswa zamabhethri ezimoto zikagesi, uSarah Maryssael, uthe inkampani ingena enkingeni enkulu yokushoda kwamaminerali ebhethri.
Ukwenza amabhethri, i-Tesla, njengezinye izinkampani kule makethe, ithenga ithusi, i-nickel, i-cobalt, i-lithium namanye amaminerali. Amaphutha ekuhleleni nasekutholeni imali encane ekukhishweni kwezinto ezingavuthiwe kwaholela ekutheni imakethe yaqala ukuzwa umoya wokushoda. Ummeleli we-Tesla osemthethweni, ngendlela, utshele izintatheli ukuthi sikhuluma ngengozi engaba khona, hhayi ngomcimbi ofeziwe. Kodwa lokhu kugcizelela kuphela ukubaluleka kwezinyathelo zokuvimbela ingozi.
Ngokumangalisayo, ithusi lalifakwe ohlwini lwamaminerali angenalutho, hhayi nje i-cobalt ne-lithium. Emashumini eminyaka adlule, izimayini eziningi zokumbiwa kwale nsimbi zivaliwe e-United States. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, ukwenza imoto kagesi udinga ithusi eliphindwe kabili njengokwenza imoto enenjini yomlilo yangaphakathi. Elinye iqiniso alimangazi kangako, nakuba libikezelwa ngempela. Ngokwemibiko yomhlaziyi we-BSRIA, amadivayisi ahlakaniphile asekhaya njengama-Alphabet Nest thermostats noma abasizi be-Amazon Alexa bazoba abathengi ababalulekile bekhopha. Isibonelo, uma namuhla kuthatha amathani angu-38 000 ethusi ukukhiqiza amadivaysi ahlakaniphile, khona-ke eminyakeni eyi-10 nje bazodinga amathani ayizigidi ezingu-1,5 zale nsimbi.
E-United States, ngokomthombo, izinkampani zezimayini seziqale ukuvuselela ukukhiqizwa kwethusi. Ukukhiqizwa kwamanye amazwe nakho kushubile, ikakhulukazi e-Indonesia, okwenziwe yiFreeport-McMoRan Inc. Imayini ye-cobalt ikakhulukazi iyindawo egciniwe yaseDemocratic Republic of the Congo, lapho le migodi yembiwa khona, phakathi kwezinye izinto, kusetshenziswa umsebenzi wezingane. U-Elon Musk, ngendlela, ubiza lesi sizathu esiyinhloko sokuthi kungani uTesla ekhetha ukusebenzisa i-nickel kumabhethri kune-cobalt.
Ingabe akhona amathemba okunqoba ingozi yokushoda? Ngaphezu kokuthuthukiswa kwezimayini e-United States, amathemba amaningi abekwe e-Australia. Ngonyaka odlule, i-Australia yangena esivumelwaneni sokuqala ne-United States sokuthuthukisa ngokuhlanganyela amadiphozithi amaminerali abalulekile e-United States. Le phrojekthi ithembisa ukuqeda noma ukunciphisa usongo lokushoda kwezinto zokusetshenziswa zamabhethri nezinto zikagesi.
