Some level of mining is necessary to build out zero-emission energy systems, the report concedes, but notes that the volume of extraction is not a given. The authors examined four cases of lithium mining: Argentina, Chile, the United States, and Portugal. This boom in demand would be met by the expansion of mining. Riofrancos et al.

I had ventured forth from the calm, cooling breezes of my mellow beach community because the treasure map I had recently discovered showed that over $600 million was available inside that building.
