That could involve encouraging people to use public transit (instead of personal cars), minimizing the size of EV batteries, and recycling lithium from old batteries. A 2023 study found that measures like this could reduce U.S. lithium demand by between 18 and 92 percent, while still letting us pursue our climate goals.8

That does ZERO. Here in Phoenix, we get "atmosphere alerts" on the interstates (I-10, I-51) warning that tomorrow's index is high ... use Mass Transit. They put these things up on Fridays sometimes, when the next day is Saturday. It is just so much visual noise and is just a check box for somebody somewhere.

"Encouraging" Mass Transit does ZERO unless there are penalties for not using it. Phoenix' Mass Transit mainly serves as a way to decentralize the druggie vagrants.
