- fiddlerwoaroof 6y agoI don’t know enough about the battery supply chain: but, generally speaking, centralizing problems often makes it easier to fix them by giving maximizing the leverage of improvements.
- ClumsyPilot 6y agoWhat huge envrironmental cost of batteries? Australia mines >50% of the world's lithium and 1% of worlds oil, and for them oil pollutes more And lithium is recycled, oil is not. Oil is a biohazard, we had massive oil spills wich posioned areas as large as fukushima exclusion zone. Pour barrel of oil in a forest, and everything dies How many lithium spills were there? Zero. If you sprincle lithium in a forest, nothing happens.
