By pulling lithium directly from the same super-hot mineral water already used to generate electricity, companies can bypass the massive ecological destruction of traditional open-pit mining and sprawling evaporation ponds. While this double-dipping method sounds like the ultimate eco-friendly victory for the electric vehicle industry, it completely ignores the terrifying environmental reality of California's severe water shortages.
