Sewage Sweeper is another dim right wing troll, and should also be ignored.
Lithium isn't in the least problematic - and Sewage Sweeper is perfectly incapable of telling us why it might be.
70% of the world's cobalt production currently comes from the Congo, which is a failed stateIf we need more cobalt we can get is from other countries with better political systems. It won't be as cheap, but it won't be expensive enough to make batteries impractically expensive.
There's nothing mindless about the electrification of the world. On the other hand the claim that relying on burning fossil carbon to get our energy would end our dependence on batteries is entirely mindless.
Sewage Sweeper can be relied on to put together loads of mindless rubbish and dump it here. We prefer he took his dump someplace else.
