While good news seems to sparse, it seems that lithium could be extracted from wastewater of shale drilling. Perhaps this could be the basis of a reasonable transition to the use of electric vehicles (EVs).There seem to be technical issues with EVs that need to be resolved and working people will need time to be able to afford EVs. Additionally, the likely reduction of having to mine for lithium should balance environmental concerns in the process.
