If anything I'd LOVE to see Ridley Scott remake this movie with a better story, bring back Tim Curry as Darkness (I really can't think of any other actor that could possibly do better), & more interesting ideas. It's not a bad movie overall, but it has a lot of noticeable flaws that could have been fixed. I WISH the movie focused a lot more on him than anyone else. the deepest significance of which the makers of this PG movie are. It's very unfortunate that a character like this had very small screen time. Not even Ridley Scotts gorgeously realized set pieces can save Legend from. ![]() ![]() But Darkness is one amazing costume, character & design overall, & Tim Curry once again proves his genius acting skills by dominating the role. Much praise goes to it's costumes & effects, as can be expected from Scott. The whole "darkness taking over light" plotline isn't very original at all. The story isn't very captivating nor engaging, & is wasted on being generic while also focusing on a horribly executed love interest between two actors with no chemistry. Sadly the storyline drags to a bore, & its characters other than Darkness are completely uninteresting. Now, if Scott would have made the movie focus more on Darkness, change the story to something less cliche, & a more interesting set of characters then Legend could have been fantastic. But what Legend has boasting in beautiful costumes & a phenomenal performance from Tim Curry in quite possibly the most badass looking demon costume ever doesn't make up for its generic fantasy plot & thinly written story. As the West scrambles to secure this precious resource, the wheels are turning, but it will take time to loosen China's grip on the lithium supply chain.I really wanted to like Legend, I really did, & given that I'm such a sucker for fairy tales I had high hopes for this. The film is legendary documentation of the horrors of the holocaust and a significant piece of 20th-century history. In the film, he interviews survivors, witnesses, historians, resistance fighters and ex-nazis. Under net-zero goals, the demand for lithium is expected to far exceed supply. The epic 9 1/2 hour documentary tells the story of the holocaust without using any archive footage. A record investment by a car maker to secure the raw materials used in electric vehicle batteries. That man is Alan Figg ( Tony Nikolakopoulos ), the go-to guy in Melbourne for expertly forged passports, immigration documents, birth certificates, diplomas and anything a person in hot water might. And in January, General Motors announced it will invest $650 million in a US lithium mine. That has added to the urgency for car makers to secure domestic supplies. And last year, the US introduced the Inflation Reduction Act, which included generous tax credits on EVs that source their battery raw materials from the US and free trade partner countries. ![]() In the US, another proposed lithium mine in Nevada has faced years of delays thanks to opposition from conservation groups.Īt the same time, China is increasingly turning to lacks of regulatory regimes in Africa and Latin America to secure feedstock for its vast lithium refineries at home, but the European Commission is working on plans to lower regulatory barriers to mining and production of critical materials such as lithium, cobalt, and graphite. Plans to open lithium mines in Europe have been mired in regulatory issues and protests.įor example, the Barosso mine, in Northeastern Portugal, was expected to begin producing lithium for electric vehicle batteries in 2020, but it's been forced to push the start date back several times as it awaits environmental approval. Campaigners say lithium extraction comes with heavy environmental and social impacts. And projects in the West have suffered from lengthy permitting processes. Europe and the US are both making moves to boost their lithium independence, but it won't be simple.ĭespite being one of the most lithium-rich countries in the world, the US has only one working lithium mine. But China dominates the lithium supply chain controlling about 60% of global lithium processing through its vast network of refineries. ![]() Global lithium production is led by Australia, Chile, China, and Argentina which collectively produce over 95% of the mineral. And as electric car sales grow, demand for lithium, a key component in EV batteries, has surged. HARRY DEMPSEY: To reach net-zero targets, electric cars will need to make up about 60% of vehicles sold annually by 2030 and around 100% by 2050 according to the International Energy Agency.
