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.
I mean, it’s about as sustainable as you can get on earth I would imagine, there’s a huge amount of lithium in seawater. It would take an insanely long time to deplete the 180000000000 tons of lithium in sea water.
I love how that’s tagged “sustainable mining” as if mining anything can actually be sustainable.

yea its just using the word sustain when removing something non-renewable makes me chuckle
