The resource extraction to make batteries is as equally damaging to the planet as fossil fuel extraction."Ecological devastation is a bleak reality The environmental fallout from lithium mining is clear and far-reaching. Massive quantities of fresh water, classified as a precious resource in these arid regions, are diverted for lithium mining operations, fueling the salt flats brine. This leaves local communities and wildlife parched. Sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide used in lithium extraction penetrate the soil and water, poisoning ecosystems and endangering species. Research from the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society shows that two flamingo species in Chile are threatened because of lithium mining."<a href="https://www.mining-technology.com/analyst-comment/lithium-mining-negative-environmental-impact/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.mining-technology.com/analyst-comment/lithium-mining-negative-environmental-impact/</a>Ignoring humans' destruction of nature is what caused this climate crisis to begin with. There is more in the equation of the climate crisis than CO2 emissions, much more. I fail to see how ramping up that destruction will solve it.<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/renewables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#renewables</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/batteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#batteries</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/LithiumMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumMining</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/DestroyingNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DestroyingNature</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/DestroyingTheWorldForGreed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DestroyingTheWorldForGreed</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ResourceExtraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ResourceExtraction</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ResourceExploitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ResourceExploitation</a>

Veirling | #MMIWG #LandBackThis is a Tesla battery. To manufacture it you need: 12 tonnes of rock for Lithium 5 tons of Cobalt minerals 3 tons of mineral for nickel 12 tons of copper ore Move 250 tons of soil to obtain: 12 kg of Lithium 30 pounds of nickel 22 kg of manganese 15 pounds of Cobalt 100 Kg of rams 200 kg of aluminum, steel or and plastic The Caterpillar 994A used for earthmoving consumes 1000 liters of diesel in 12 hours. Finally you get a “zero emissions” car. <a href="https://union.place/tags/GreenCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreenCapitalism</a> <a href="https://union.place/tags/ResourceExploitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ResourceExploitation</a>
