'Artisanal Mining' is one of the best "spins" I have ever come across.
-
One thing this report leaves out is all the equipment used to mine and process are combustion engines and coal produced power plants. And it is coat prohibited to change any of this.
-
In the end, nothing is done without costs. For any situation, there are no solutions, only tradeoffs.
-
In minute @6:00 the guy says "que vengan ascinerando" which you translated roughly to "they should come to us with dialogue". That's not a bad translation but the language he uses expresses decades of frustration with companies that have rejected the dialogue previously.
-
Mining is mining. It is dirty, uses lots of water and creates lots of waste. It was a problem long before EVs came on the scene, but now we say mining for lithium is so awful?! If we single out lithium for EVs then we also need to get agitated over gold mining, tar sands (oil), bauxite mining (aluminium), phosphate mining, copper mining, coal mining and opencast iron mining.
-
Notice how this channel just repeatedly says “experts agree” without saying who really said that. I hate that crap.
-
People often complain about lithium mines and damaging the Earth but the ratio of the area covered by lithium mines vs coal mines is the same as the the ratio of the state of Delaware to all of Canada, the USA and 1/2 of Mexico combined.
-
A copper mine in northern Arizona leaches into the local stream; the fish cannot be eaten as they are toxic. Birds and goats will die if they drink much of it.
-
How fresh Mountain Dew is mined for our refreshment.
-
Old copper telephone cables can be replaced by optical fiber and the copper can be recycled.
-
Now wasn't that defunct copper mine there before EVs were even mass produced?
-
At 15:44 you state that internal combustion engine vehicles dont use any. This is false as refining oil uses cobalt as a catalyst
-
That water looks so refreshing and tasty 😩
-
Uranium for the first atomic bomb used in the Manhattan project came from DRC. Before batteries, Li was used in fusion bombs as Lithium Deuteride fuel. This is why Li was designated as a strategic mineral.
-
Apparently a new and profitable source of CU is the charging stations. Thieves are cutting off the charging cables for the CU.
-
Also people assume that there will be no alternative to lithium, and yet sodium batteries are on the verge. Being fine alternatives for LFP batteries. All in all lithium mining is still miniscule compared to other mining processes.
-
People make it out as if coal, oil and gas just magically appears out of thin air and never impacts anyone, either when extracted or burned.
-
Great. Now do oil.
-
Imagine someone would find polymetals in Washington and would extract them and blow tons of dust per hour all over the city. What do you think, would that impact the local species ?
-
One of these days people will realise that there simply is no perfect solution for mechanised individual transport… we really need to look more at improving public transit and active travel, while retaining the second-best option (cars) for those without access, such as rural populations
