More investment in nuclear fission could address a lot of energy needs. We also have to look beyond only emissions and consider space-utilized and the process of manufacturing. The push for EVs for example has caused a lot of abuse through Lithium mining. Many renewable energy companies have been linked to mining abuse in Africa.
Welcome to /o/STEM! This circle is dedicated to science, technology, engineering, maths, and medicine, where you can discuss all things STEM, seek career advice, share learning resources, and pose “ask an expert” questions to the Ovarit STEM community.
Please provide a descriptive title for your posts and add a flair that best describes your post topic. We encourage posters to add links to relevant articles or research papers in their posts and comments.
Since our focus is on STEM, posts should not be focused on politics, ethics, or philosophy. Any discussion on popular science or medicine (to include COVID-19) must be based on scientific principles and research.
This is also not the place to discuss diet, lifestyle, alternative medicine, or psychology. For these topics please check out o/women which is a general discussion circle and o/womenshealthlounge which is a support sub for health issues.

Hopefully advances in solid-state sodium battery technology will help reduce the damage being done in Africa due to mining for battery resources.
