Used to think electric cars were the only answer, then I saw what those lithium mines look like from above
I was all in on EVs for years until I watched a drone video of the lithium evaporation ponds in the Atacama Desert in Chile. Those bright blue squares go on for miles and kill the local water supply for entire communities. Made me realize my 'clean' choice was just swapping one problem for another. Has anyone else started second guessing the whole battery solution after seeing what actually goes into them?

It's a rough wake up call for sure. Really makes you question which path actually does less harm in the long run.
