      We only do that with agricultural workers and Tim Horton’s restaurants.

        AI-powered satellites point to a massive lithium resource at a Canadian project

        Satellite-linked AI analysis suggests Quebec’s Cisco lithium project could contain about 329 million metric tons of ore, helping guide new drill targets within days.

          I know there’s been lots of headlines in the past like OMG there’s not enough lithium! It’s never been true.

          It’s one of the most abundant elements out there, it’s everywhere. It was always more about what reserves we knew about, but when what we knew about wasn’t going to be enough, people go looking, and it’s abundant.

          Also the more uses there are for it, the more profitable it is to extract from these methods and the better we get at it, the cheaper it is to extract, which further opens up even more options.

          Lithium is quite rare. Essentially all the lithium that exists was created at the big bang, and since then the total supply has been diminishing with each generation of stars - they fuse lithium into heavier elements.

          There’s less lithium all the time

            I suppose it’s a bit like diamonds, which are actually really abundant, just not always very accessible.

              Maybe Alzheimer’s as well. There is new research on lithium that shows promise for that.

                        So extract all the value and give it to rich ppl while leaving everyone else to clean up the mess left behind?

                        This isn’t gold. The value comes from the extraction part. That’s the really expensive and dirty part. It’s like salt in the ocean: insanely abundant but prohibitively expensive to extract.

                            And we’ll just keep shipping it out of the country for pennies for other countries to make value added products.

                                    The US is run by a pedophile ring, so other countries being run by drug cartels isn’t that insane. Big Maple is everywhere.
