Protecting fragile ecosystems from lithium mining © Lake Resources Drilling for lithium brine at the Kachi site, Argentina Between 2015 and 2018 the price of lithium carbonate, the source of one of the most important elements in electronics, more than tripled. It was a nasty shock for the electronics industry as lithium is the key ingredient in rechargeable batteries that power everything from smartphones, to toothbrushes, to electric cars. "This was the most extreme price spike in the histo...
