    And if you need synthetic graphite, it sounds like this is something that can be produced rather than mined, making this more a production issue.

    Sounds like rubber.

      A lot of things are production issues rather than technology issues: semiconductors, cars, artillery shells… IBM had a 2nm chip in 2021. Trevithick had an automotive in 1801.

      Doesn’t mean it’s easy.
