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" 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.
