Another one in a series of studies on this topic. This one predicts an 87,000% increase in the demand for battery materials which is not very helpful. Exponential extrapolation from a small basis over a long time horizon can basically come up with any growth figure. The logistic growth curve is a much better and proven model for technology transitions.

"Demand for cobalt, copper, lithium, cadmium, and rare earth elements needed for solar photovoltaics, batteries, electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, fuel cells, and nuclear reactors is set to explode in the coming years as countries around the world invest heavily in greening their economies".

Vandalism and poaching are likely to become rising issues with more copper in infrastructure. Also photovoltaic farms may suffer, though these are easier to protect since less distributed.

The market for PV is booming, but prices for PV-generated power are decreasing, leading to increasing cost pressures.
