We need this tech NOW! Some #LithiumIon alternatives discussed are #SodiumIonBatteries, #HydrogenFuelCells and #AqueousMagnesiumBatteries (which I'm just learning about).

"Li-on batteries require environmentally destructive #mining practices for metals such as #lithium, #cobalt, and #nickel. Moreover, a large amount of these metal resources are located in developing countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo [#DRC]. Ethical mining practices haven’t been established in these areas yet, meaning Li-on production contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions."

Techies for liberation,
Right of repair efforts are part of the Free Congo efforts. I've been looking for right of repair organizations & people leading this fight. If you could let me know what resources I should be looking toward, I would greatly appreciate it.

100 000 personnes, y compris des #enfants, dans une #mine sans machinerie. Une puissance humaine pure, payée à qq dollars/jour. 15 000 tunnels qui s'effondrent tout le temps. Enfants couverts de poussière de #soufre provenant de l'usine de traitement voisine. Le #cobalt est ainsi extrait en #RDC. Ce cobalt, né dans la #misère, alimente tous les #smartphones, véhicules électriques et autres appareils. Le monde refuse de voir la vérité!

100,000 people including children in a mine with zero machinery. Sheer human power, paid at few dollars per day. 15,000 tunnels that collapse all the time. Children covered with sulphur dust from the nearby processing plant. This is how cobalt is mined in DRC. This cobalt, born in misery, powers all the smartphones, electric vehicles and other devices. The world refuses to see the truth. #CobaltMining #DRC #HumanMisery
"Spend a short time the watching the filth-caked children of the Katanga region scrounge at the earth for #cobalt, and you would be unable to determine whether they were working for the benefit of [King] Leopold or a #tech company."
