The same idiots still don't realize every single car has a lead acid battery. Gasoline grows on trees.
Also we can't have solar because panel materials require mining. Wind power is something something birds.
That's funny, according to angry misinformed delusional O&G trolls, batteries end up in an imaginary landfill. Now I don't know who to believe.
Yes, because as we know, corporations love to throw away money, they hate money.
Ok bud.
I'd imagine they usually do. This only impacts China, so batteries used everywhere else will probably still be thrown away.
I know for a fact batteries are not thrown away, while you're just imagining things.
In Norway they're storing them in open spaces, which might cause a disaster. Source: https://www.nrk.no/ostfold/livsfarlige-batteriberg-hoper-seg-opp_-_-en-varslet-katastrofe-1.17385084 (it's in Norwegian)
Yeah, I might care to learn Norwegian so I can read your fear-mongering article of disaster.
So translating a website is a foreign concept to you. Well, let me welcome you to the internet. There's a site called translate.google.com - paste any URL, and it can translate the article for you so you won't have to learn another language. How freaking cool is that?
Really! Cool! Can you show me the result?
What about the non-“key” materials?
That includes lithium comically
Recovery of materials from used lithium batteries is just free money
This is great, even though the number feels way too high. I don't know whether this is reliable but the news suggests great improvements in the area anyway. Just remembering reproducing some chemical reactions from Chinese papers claiming 80% yield and definitely after several attempts never passing the 10% mark...
