No, it wasn't.
Does China pay the medical bills for the little African kids who get sick working 60 hours a week in their toxic Lithium mines? Somehow I doubt it.Besides being very water intense lithium mining also creates a number of other problems for the environment and for society in general. So does coal mining by the way; It is also very destructive to the environment. So let's get that out of the way right off the bat. Lithium mining however is particularly disadvantageous to the surrounding ecosystem especially with the current methods of using brine water to drive the lithium out of the Earth so that it can be captured in large drying beds above ground which are environmental disasters. Additionally it has created a doc economy that enslaves children as young as 4 years old in countries that are doing the mining. Once again let's repeat the simple fact of thermodynamics.. there's no such thing as a free ride.

That's why lithium recycling does something about Chinese pedophilia.
is it, go outside, gather some up, and try to sell it
it wont work, it will not be economical, and if it was, the price of lithium would drop, which would mean the rich would look for another commodity they can run up the demand for with government subsidies, leaving lithium producers, broke.Is your Google broken? And I was wrong: it's not a trillion pounds, it's 230 billion tons.
Lihytech uses patented ceramic membrane-based lithium extraction technology, developed by KAUST's Professor Zhiping Lai, to harvest the alkali metal from seawater, brine, red mud and other sources. Seawater contains 230 billion tons of lithium, compared to just 21 million tons in conventional land-based reserves.Feb 3, 2023
KAUST spinout will extract lithium from seawater - The Engineer
A new venture between King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and Saudi mining company Ma’aden will use seawater as a source of lithium.www.theengineer.co.uk
You're incoherent. Is it the heavy drinking?
Why aren't you investing in lithium? The stock market is open to everyone, you know.
You are the one who made a ridiculous claim. Show us how we create electricity for free, from any source.
I wish i would of, could still, it will only go up until we run out. Same with the cobalt used in batteries. Electric vehicles are being heavily pushed by Democrat Larry Fink who controls the $12 trillion investment funds of Blackrock. I think one just needs to listen ti the Democrats, while they have the power, and before we hit that peak lithium wall.
water is free, yet it is sold

Says the misshapen eastern European droll troll dwarf in the corner.
you said the sun is free as is water, I simply asked to demonstrate how you would be able to collect either and sell without spending any money.
