Massive Lithium Discovery Unearthed in Pennsylvania

A significant lithium deposit has been discovered in the wastewater from Pennsylvania's fracking industry, potentially fulfilling over 30% of the U.S. lithium demand. This discovery could reduce reliance on imports and support the renewable energy transition, but it raises environmental concerns due to the energy-intensive extraction process and potential risks to groundwater quality. Researchers are exploring sustainable extraction methods, but the balance between innovation and environmental protection remains a challenge.
