Swimming In Lithium

Here is a report from Germany which suggests deep sea mining is an environmentally friendly way to obtain the metals we "need" for the great energy reset:

And here is a report which points out deep sea mining may severely impact the health of our oceans and the creatures which live in them:

And just for shits and giggles, here's another suggesting that autism may be related to the presence of lithium in our drinking water:

It won't do us much good to force an energy conversion if one of the results will be to contaminate our planet with toxic metals, byproducts, and tailings from surface, subsurface, and deep sea mining. This whole "reset" thing needs to be examined before it induces planetary suicide.
