Another Phil that has had PI where you really don't want it. Fighting the urge to scratch in public, in pubic, was challenging.
On the other hand, fun times with the lady friend were interesting, like scratching an itch and scratching another itch at the same time.
I think an important distinction to note is that the water used for lithium mining is brine and not fresh water. Yes lithium mining is water intensive, but the water used is not what we would use for drinking or irrigation.
