We also don’t have enough lithium to replace every car with an electric.
On some level it has to be public transit and better infrastructure or ecofascism.
No one wants the former so they’ll take the latter.
The problem isn't the quantity of lithium, the problem is the ecological damage of mining that much lithium.
I mean, the ecological damage is directly correlated with the quantity extracted. i also made a big ol post showing how there's not enough though so i agree on the damage but think its both.
