over the course of 18 to 24 months, solar evaporation concentrates the lithium

Guess ramping up productIon is a little bit of a delay....

This is a lithium leach field.

Salty brine water is pumped up from deep wells.

Then, the water is progressively evaporated off, which leaves the lithium precipitate and several other minerals.

Estimates are that 70% of the Lithium Batteries coming from China are coming from Uighur Muslim Concentration Camps.

Slave Labor Batteries.

We will need a lot more global warming to evaporate more lithium.

I have been there.
Only a few residential homes and ONE bar.
An hour after the work ends it is nearly a ghost town.

" Then, over the course of 18 to 24 months, solar evaporation concentrates the lithium."

You'd think that all that extra evaporation from mines, western irrigation and other water use would lead to more rain somewhere else.
