ideally you want to use not batteries as they have to be replaced - a physical “battery” using two lakes that pump between each other for example would be a better potential energy store than a battery imo
It’s fine. Unlike fossils, the lithium isn’t burned and released into the air. The resources can be reclaimed. It’s not an infinite cycle of extraction.
Batteries can be used to store excess power until needed

no, but reprocessing when lithium goes out of date after x cycles isn’t ideal
You can still put it in the water supply to improve mental health.I guess it’s possible that eventually we sit on a bunch of lithium we don’t know what to do with. What happened to all the mercury and lead?
edit: honestly, there are so many potential mobile uses that I’m really not too worried.
Lithium woulndt be needed for grid batteries at all. Weight doesnt matter for som permanent stationary installation.
We can retvrn to lead-acid.
+ for being fully recyclable in a garage.
- for lead.
