All it took was ramping up our exploitation of the third world to artificially keep lithium prices down lol

Can't wait until the e-waste crisis also stops being ignored. Average lifespan of a solar panel is ~25 years and there's basically 0 solutions for recycling them (except for this one plant in France I guess). Knowing the US, I doubt we'll have anything figured out before it's too late again
