Lithium is reusable like aluminum. Even if we stayed lithium batteries forever it’s fine since we wouldn’t have to mine much anymore. Most aluminum is recycled.
Assuming we keep using lithium for cars batteries, the day 90%+ of all new car batteries are recycled lithium will be a pretty cool moment. Decades away though.
That’s true for right wingers. They’ll tell you “drill, baby, drill” but then they complain when you do it in their backyard instead of the middle east or a black neighborhood.
Exactly, and they should be held to the same standard too. If you’re going to laugh at one side for saying something hypocritical, you should also laugh at the other side for saying something hypocritical as well.
There is no red, there is no blue, there is the state, and it hates you.
Lithium is not the most abundant part of a lithium ion battery, despite the name. It is very important but it is also very reusable. It can even, theoretically, be recycled. It will never be equivalent to oil. There’s just not the same incentive to start wars over the thing.
Liberal: my electric car is so clean bro, it uses tons of lithium but that’s mined somewhere else, so it’s okay.
Geologist: Lithium deposit in your backyard.
Liberal: Not in my backyard.
