Does Europe need lithium mines?

In today’s episode, Euronews explores the debate over lithium mines in Europe, featuring insights from two experts with differing viewpoints on the issue: Lindsey Wuisan, Resource, Justice, and New Economies' Campaigner at Friends of the Earth Europe, and Peter Tom Jones, Director of the KU Leuven Institute for Sustainable Metals.
