Researchers in China are developing a solar-powered technology to extract lithium from seawater, addressing the rising global demand. This innovative method could become a viable alternative as lithium prices surge, despite current high extraction costs.
Well I would postulate, as a complete layperson, that the amount of lithium leaching out of rocks into the ocean is more per year than we could realistically extract. So in a way, it could be sustainable.
yea its just using the word sustain when removing something non-renewable makes me chuckle
