We can’t possibly use this.
We have to have African slave children mine it for us.
That’s our values.
We’re changing the weather.
A lithium deposit discovered in a volcanic crater along the Nevada-Oregon border may hold up to 40 million metric tons of the rare metal — possibly the largest ever in the world, which could have a massive impact on the electric vehicle industry, according to a new study.
The deposit hidden within the McDermitt Caldera is estimated to hold between 20 million and 40 million metric tons, which would be nearly double the current record of about 23 million metric tons found over the summer beneath a Bolivian salt flat, researchers reported in Science Advances.
It would also greatly boost America’s overall lithium reserves, which were previously estimated at a paltry 1 million metric tons.
Belgian geologist Anouk Borst said that if the estimate proves true, the sudden overabundance of American lithium — the metal sought after by electric vehicle makers — could have global impacts.
“It could change the dynamics of lithium globally, in terms of price, security of supply and geopolitics,” Borst told Chemistry World. “The US would have its own supply of lithium and industries would be less scared about supply shortages.”
Electric vehicle makers have bemoaned estimates that “white gold” supplies will fall short by 2025, with China, the US and several South American countries vying to locate large deposits to meet the increasing demand.
Paul A. Jacobson, GM’s chief financial officer, told investors mid-June that they “already have that risk” of not getting enough lithium, explaining that GM has bought stakes in mining operations.
…
The rush to acquire the white gold has also been exacerbated by President Biden’s clean energy agenda, which calls for EVs to make up about 50% of all cars sold by 2030.
The administration has pushed for investing $7.5 billion in EV charging stations around the nation.
Really getting tired of this EV gibberish.
Lithium mining is an environmental disaster, and we honestly should just leave it to the African slave children.
We should be mining coal and drilling oil to power our own economy. If people want EVs (only a small portion of weirdos want them), they can buy them from the Chinese.
St.Petersburg, Ruzzia ❗
We definitely haven’t had that under all the Ruzzian 🔥 ‘s before.

Honestly, I never really cared about environmentalism, but this “green energy” agenda is so threatening to the environment that it’s made me reconsider the whole thing.
We do need to be concerned about the environment, and we need to be protecting it from these green energy people.
America doesn’t need any more lithium mines.
