Agonising listening to this particle physicist David Krofcheck on RNZ right now. He knows so much he can't possibly dumb it down enough to answer Kathryn Ryan's questions in the way she's fishing for. He has such a volume of knowledge dammed up he can't figure out how to let it out in a sufficiently mundane way. Everything he says assumes that the average person knows ('you remember "conservation of energy" that you learned about in highschool'... er, yeah) …

Ok, what do you think is gonna happen when you stop paying the "don't riot" bill? How long can you go without paying that bill before an angry mob is gonna come to collect? You can tell from their vacant eyes that they never considered that.

Seenotrettungsschiff Sea-Watch 5 meldet Beschuss durch libysche Küstenwache
Erneut sind See­not­ret­te­r:in­nen laut Angaben der NGO Ziel eines Angriffs geworden. Kurz zuvor hatte das Innenministerium vor Libyen gewarnt.

Just did very approximate calculations; with 10g of lithium per drone*, and assuming the Russian and Ukrainian drone efforts consume 5m units a year**, that'd be ~50 tons of lithium deposited into the environment per year, mostly within, let's say, 50km of the grey zone***. It's only about $20,000 / ton****, which means $1m of metal*****.
So to answer my own silly question: no, it won't be economically viable to scalp the top few inches of topsoil and extract the lithiu…
