Batteries, AI and the second life solution: Why recycling—not mining—holds the key to true energy freedom
The “Lithium Triangle” in South America is being poisoned, Indigenous communities displaced and ecosystems destroyed—all while China controls 60% of global lithium refining, creating a dangerous dependency. The refining process itself is CO?-intensive, undermining the “climate-friendly” narrative. Lithium batteries are a scam—expensive, unsafe and short-lived. They degrade quickly, pose fire/explosion risks and cost 30x more […]
