AI comes up with battery design that uses 70 per cent less lithium
(www.newscientist.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Going to argue it isn't as bad as shale / oil sands projects. Also the battery is mostly aluminum, copper and nickel in the anode and cathode, all that has to be mined as well.
The products of the Oil industry are also consumed and can't be recycled, something like 90% of a battery can be recycled and reused.
I thought it was all or almost all of the metals?
There's other non metals that wouldn't necessarily be, but all the lithium is for example?
Not sure what you are even saying?
All of the lithium (metals) is recycled. Some of the other materials can't be or aren't recycled
