However, many green technologies, such as electric vehicles and renewable power plants, depend on lithium-ion batteries, which require lithium. To mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, we must transition away from fossil fuels like petroleum and coal and toward clean energy generation and zero-emission transportation options.
