    It was a geothermal extraction method that made energy and recovered lithium without nasty mining.

    It’s possible that the geothermal angle was green washing, but from what I saw (on PBS’s Nova I believe) it would have been an environmental improvement over what is there now.

    Funny thing is Maine also just discovered lithium deposits, and the Trump assholes are picking on them for allowing the 2 transgender athletes in the whole state to play school sports.

      That’s a really good point, but I haven’t looked into the extraction methods yet. I’m not sure if that will be implemented. Finding information is difficult. Hopefully, it will. Power, too, you.

        They weee extracting the lithium from water pulled from fracking-like wells (not sure if horizontal drilling was happening or not though, I’ll see if I can find the source).
