People are trying to talk up existing investments somewhere in the lithium chain, or trying to get investments for somewhere in that chain; or if you like tinfoil hats, fossil fuel interests are trying to inject uncertainty into the growth of electric cars.
I think the last possibility is probably silly because available Lithium resources will likely behave similarly to other extracted commodities such as oil - with the difference that you can likely recycle lithium out of expended batteries.
