Seems like water turbines do not need much lithium or cobalt.
Turbines need steel, zinc, iron, and copper for the main structure and wiring. Rare earth elements are also needed for the magnets in turbine generators.

This is an interesting one. I do wonder about how cost effective fixing these are though.
