Lithium batteries used in EVs and other “green” technology are anything but clean

 Lithium is highly toxic

• The processes required to extract lithium from the earth in order to turn it into "green" batteries for electric vehicles (EVs), electric bicycles (e-bikes), mobile phones, computers and more are highly toxic.
• It turns out that the mining and processing of just one ton of lithium consumes an astounding eight million liters, or 500,000 gallons, of water.

Teslas and other EVs containing lithium pollute the environment

• The removal of all this water ends up destroying water tables needed for drinking water and irrigation.
• If just water was used to extract all that lithium, then one might argue that the price of all that water loss is worth paying to avoid contaminating the environment with fossil fuels.
• The reality is that chemicals are also released during lithium mining, leaving behind a plethora of toxicity for the environment.
