There’s plenty of column inches given to the environmental advantages of electric vehicles, like reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emission. But there’s a salty little secret often obscured by those who wax lyrical about EVs — the environmental impact of the lithium mined to make EV batteries.  So I decided to take a deep dive into what it is, where it comes from, how it’s mined, its environmental impact, and what we can do to make it greener.  And don’t worry — no geology degree is needed.  What is lithium? Lithium is a naturally occurring substance found in ionic…This story continues at The Next Web https://thenextweb.com/news/the-environmental-impact-of-lithium-mining
