The less we need of it, the better either way.
Comment on AI comes up with battery design that uses 70 per cent less lithium
AlternateRoute@lemmy.ca 10 months agoYes do look into it. There are MANY ways to harvest lithium and most are better than what the oil and gas companies does when fracking or drilling on land.

It can be recycled… Unlike the oil and gas used up in ICE cars.

I don’t know who told you that being second worst is a flex, but it’s not.

Being better than one of the most destructive industries ever is not a high bar. But the most effective way to harvest lithium remains an open pit mine, which are arguably worse than literally anything else.

Going to argue it isn’t as bad as shale / oil sands projects.

I thought it was all or almost all of the metals?
There’s other non metals that wouldn’t be but all the lithium is for example?

Not sure what you are even saying?

Making an improvement for something that can be recycled and thus should REDUCE over time is a a MASSIVE improvement over doing nothing and bitching about it.
