I finally ran a 220 volt circuit to my air compressor. I also put in dedicated air lines using a kit from Northern Tool & couldn’t resist some home automation.

Lithium mining pollutes: it produces a huge amount of waste that kills all forms of life in soils and rivers if not reprocessed. Lithium mining is costly for the planet. To mine lithium, you also need cobalt and other rare earths, which are only found in a few countries such as Congo, China, Russia, Ukraine, Greenland and Chile. When lithium is thrown away, it ends up in landfills. It rusts, and lithium, cobalt and other metals flow directly into soils, rivers and groundwater. When there are accidents involving boats or trucks transporting lithium, or when drones or other devices get lost in nature, this is a huge source of pollution. We need to stop replacing cables with wireless technologies that use lithium batteries and which the consumer has to recharge. Electric cars that use lithium batteries use lithium in insane quantities. Lithium is used in countries without good electricity grids in back-up batteries, each of which uses as much lithium as thousands of cell phones. Lithium batteries can catch fire if it’s too cold or too hot, if they’re over-charged or over-discharged, or if there’s a manufacturing defect. Finally, if something else catches fire nearby and damages the battery, it will burn explosively and make matters worse. Since this is chemical combustion, there’s nothing the fire department can do.
