A lithium fire forced a sailing couple to abandon ship and ultimately led to their deaths. What does this tragedy teach us about the dangers of lithium batteries and the need for stepped up emergency planning?
Once they get going, lithium fires can be almost impossible to put out.
At Troy University, CFACT Collegian Caitlyn Harris brought a creative edge to energy education with her “Guess What’s in Your Solar Panel?” Jenga event—proving that sometimes the best way to spark conversation is with a simple game. Hosted on March 11th, the setup quickly became a focal point on campus. Curious students stopped to see what was going on, and before long, many decided to stick around and play a round of Jenga. What started as a casual game quickly turned into something more, as participants realized each block held a lesson about the materials behind modern energy technologies. Each block [...]
That the world is desperately short of lithium and cobalt for electric vehicle batteries is dawning on climate campaigners.
The world now knows that lithium mining is not pretty.
No lithium no electric vehicles.
Energy reality is devastating.
Dependance on lithium mining in America to qualify for subsidies, will further negatively impact the lithium supply chain for batteries and stagnate the mandated transition to EVs.
With most of the exotic minerals and metals to build EV batteries being mined in developing countries, is it ethical to support the environmental degradation and humanity atrocities occurring in developing countries?
A proposed lithium mine on federal land in western Nevada may be brought low by – of all things -- buckwheat.
There's nothing "clean," nor "green" about locating and extracting all the lithium, cobalt and rare-earth's these schemes require.
