Lithium is useful for a million applications, of which batteries are the biggest for news only. It's in medication, small electronics, metal alloys, and has a plethora of other uses we encounter every day. Lithium-ion batteries are the most common small battery around right now, but they won't be forever and they aren't the best type for large applications.
EVs and "The Energy Transition" are and will be a big user in the short term, next couple decades, but alternatives using easier-to-obtain materials are gaining traction. Those same things are also big news items in general. Lithium is getting mined and used no matter where it gets mined from; would you like it somewhere it can be regulated and have a very close watch kept on it or would you like it to be mined in another part of the world without the strict laws we have here?
