If Cobalt is So Bad, Why are Some Companies Still Using it in Batteries? Part 1
The terrible consequences of cobalt mining and usage are both well documented and heartbreaking. Devastating environmental impacts from extration that render large swath of land unusuable and polluted waterways. Children forced to work in dangerous and claustrophobic 'artisanal' mines (a truly sinister euphemism). Toxicity, lung disease, heart failure, and cancer from exposure, even ...
