Very on topic for the short article I'm writing for student magazine Rostra Economica: an exploratory article showcasing the negative externalities related to lithium mining in Chile, incentivized by rising demand for electric vehicles.

JFC. I don't spend much time on Youtube, but I was just looking for music & it is disturbing how many AI videos are claiming to be real music from famous artists.
It's crowding out artists' actual music.
This is screenshot is from an "official video" for a fake Sia song.
Artists are so f**ked.

Sun-powered device extracts lithium without wrecking the environment
Lithium-rich brine in an evaporation pond in the Atacama desert, Chile John Moore/Getty Images The mining of lithium for batteries – the key to the electric vehicle revolution and levelling out the power supplied by renewables – is environmentally damaging. But an experimental sun-powered method that produces fresh water as well as lithium could make it more sustainable. Today, most lithium is obtained from underground brine reservoirs…
