So should we stop extracting lithium for batteries?
A similar report published in 2021 by the nonprofit BePe (Bienaventuradors de Pobres) also identifies water as a primary concern for lithium mining operations.
It claims that not enough research has been done on the potential contamination of water and “activity must be stopped until studies are available to reliably determine the magnitude of the damage.”
Gleb Yushin, a professor at the School of Materials and Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology, US, argues that new battery technology needs to be developed using more common, environmentally-friendly materials. His paper is published in the journal Nature, alongside co-authors including Kostiantyn Turcheniuk.

Oh my the secret is out about clean energy and battery powered cars. My daughter found this out for a research paper in 8th grade back in 2007. Not to mention were the electricity comes from to charge those toxic batteries. Coal is bad, nuclear bad, hence germany is dependent on natural gas from russia. As wind and solar have been completely inadequate. All though they did have the first engerie aus mull (energy from trash) back in 1986 when I got stationed in northern Germany with 2nd AD (FWD).

Nah. They're "clean energy". The dirty part doesn't happen in our backyard, so it doesn't exist.
