- jeffbee 5y agoYou could lose the entire world's lithium mines in the corner of one of hundreds of large-scale iron ore mines. Lithium ponds are also currently about 500 times smaller than the world's table salt ponds. Really, it's incredibly small and eliminates the demand for much more destructive oil and gas exploration.
