      Lithium doesn’t have any energy in it. Lithium batteries store energy generated by other sources. This will have no effect on oil drilling.

        It can offset the need for fossil fuels when used to store energy from off peak demand periods when clean energy is still being produced.

        Not sure why anyone tries so hard to look obtuse. Ya know what lithium turns into and how terrible oil drilling is for the environment. Overall it’s a clear climate victory.
