I was responding to when you said “before we make any more big, environmentally hazardous mines”.
The recycling effort is highly profitable, there’s little need to subsidize it. It will simply grow and consume all available supply.
Large scale lithium battery storage is still truly just getting started. We need to be super smart with lining up supply for essential inputs for growth.

- Sabinus 3y agoThere isn't enough material yet for a large robust recycling industry, and collection of small batteries is still an issue.
