Nevada has but one corner in the South of the State. A possible corner corresponding to SW is in the middle of Lake Tahoe.

Just so long as they leave my little town alone. I’m enjoying living the country life.

There’s lithium mineral deposits in Nevada?

You can build a huge battery plant, but it’s useless without a reliable source of raw materials.

If I remember right, most of the viable lithium reserves come out of S. America and a few ME countries, along with some deposits in china.

I’ve heard about Reno and Hillary . . but who the heck is Lithium?

California owns most of SW Nevada.

Yeah except that Tesla is apparently not buying its Lithium locally. They are going to import it. The folks that wooed them to build here in the first place are pretty embarrassed that they did not stipulate buying the local as part of their tax breaks and what not.

Meh. We are loving NV but there are too many Californians.

I knew there was some alkali deposits somewhere in that region, but are they going to be the source for this plant? Are they allowed to mine it? That would be great if that's what their plan is.

...

The article makes it sound like Nevada is still getting a good deal.

LOLOLOL! Yes, now that I'm here, I'd rather not have anymore! Plus, I know I'm conservative! :D

Nevada is getting a good deal, but Jerry Brown feels that California is getting a better deal, because NV gave Tesla a lot of tax breaks, which California would have had to give Tesla to bring it there, and would have lost all that tax revenue and because they stood firm, they did not. (I know it doesn’t make any sense but that is what he said, as best as I can understand it.)

I am so glad I do not live in California any more!

Tesla plans to buy lithium, a critical ingredient in its batteries, from a mining project that’s under development 200 miles from its battery factory near Reno, Nev.

Are you an idiot or do you just play one on the net?

I don’t believe Reno is in SW Nevada. Simple.

That is not what they said a few weeks before that. Maybe the backlash changed their minds.
