Until they get lithium production pollution under control, I just can’t get behind it.

  Wait until you find out about bunker oil pollution!
  • imwillofficial 4y ago
    Not even close
    • knownjorbist 4y ago
      Yeah, lithium mining is not even in the same ballpark as bunker fuel used to power large cargo vessels.
      • imwillofficial 4y ago
        You’re right, but not the way you think. 10 oil spills from massive tankers don’t even begin to match one lithium mine for one week. It’s insaneX and disastrous, and largely ignored.

  What are you talking about? Most lithium either comes from conventional mining in Australia or from underground salt water in deserts that is evaporated. The first is no more polluting then any other type of mining. The second can cause some problems but I would call it polluting. So what are you actually referring to?

    "Most lithium either comes" umm no. https://www.wired.com/story/china-lithium-mining-production/ https://www.wired.com/story/china-lithium-mining-production/

      I was talking about the source, not the supply chain. China dominates the supply chain, not the source of lithium.
