The point is, the lithium will be recycled NOT that lithium batteries are less toxic than lead batteries.

Worrying about "dead" lithium batteries is like worrying about "dead" aluminum cans ...

But the article mentions that lithium is not economically viable to recycle.

Tell that to https://li-cycle.com/ and https://northvolt.com/revolt/

Eventually, demand and technological changes will make that not true anymore.

Currently, at current scale. I don’t think JB Straubel is an idiot who knows nothing about this.

Also there’s that thing about don’t believe everything you read. Ask: Who benefits by the publication of this article?

Right. We disagree with the article.
