🔥⚠️🔥The Dark Side of Electric Vehicles: How Lithium Mining Harms the Environment

Beneath Bolivia's stunning salt flats lies the world's largest lithium deposit, a critical component for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, but its extraction comes at a steep environmental price. Mining lithium requires pumping billions of gallons of brine to the surface, where it evaporates over 18 months, consuming vast water resources in arid regions.

Producing enough lithium for just one EV battery can require over 1,000 gallons of brine, raising concerns about water scarcity and ecological damage in places like Bolivia and Chile.
