Sigh… while “good news”, I really hope this doesn’t put the push to recycle lithium batteries on the back burner.
The demand for lithium is still high enough that both are required, so it’s still good news regardless. But lithium batteries are still not super great due to the complex chemistry required.
I’m more interested in the solid state, sodium-ion, or the zinc based depending on the application and whether they can work out some of the hurdles.

Or perhaps just good news for EV aficiandos everywhere. It seems to me that there’s enough demand for all the lithium there is.
exactly good news, hopefully not being monopolize to control the market pricing later
cause i can imagine the “cheap” abundances of battery will only accelerate the EV adoption
It’s certainly bad news for the development of more environmentaly friendly battery technology.
Its going to mean nothing unless its easy to seperate from the rest of the sediment.
USA really does have everything.
It could also be really really small. It could also be capable of feeling and thinking.
The little lithium deposit that could
Oh! 😳 sorry man! We found a family of sea skunks living in that part of the fossilized forest. Plus it’s where they buried Fred. Nah. You’ll have to go dig down in Bolivia.
Leave it in the ground.
