SILVER PEAK, NV — On the edge of Western Nevada, hours from a major city and miles down private dirt roads, lies the United States' only lithium-producing plant...The scale of Silver Peak is hard to grasp from picturs. It spans 13,000 acres...Salty brine that contains lithium is pumped from between 300 and 2,000 feet underground to the surface. Then, over the course of 18 to 24 months, solar evaporation concentrates the lithium.

Guess ramping up productIon is a little bit of a delay....
We must continue or we will have a “Mine Shaft Gap”!!!
Can we say “toxic”? Why yes, yes we can. 😱
Instead of making our country better at whatever energy source the Dims approve of today, we should make the Dims irrelevant so we can have a consistent plan for energy implementation. Only then we can focus on the physical science.
Albemarle Corporation (the mining company) is partially owned by China via an investment agreement signed in 2021. They also operate two mining operation in mainland China. Guess where all that Lithium ultimately goes...

It goes to the same place all that corn and wheat grown on U.S. land the chicoms have bought in recent years goes...
The output from hundreds of thousands of acres now owned by the chicoms?
Mainland china...
Salty brine water is pumped up from deep wells.
Then, the water is progressively evaporated off, which leaves the lithium precipitate and several other minerals.
Estimates are that 70% of the Lithium Batteries coming from China are coming from Uighur Muslim Concentration Camps.
Slave Labor Batteries.
But a few years ago, the enviro-whackos in Maine enacted a law that allows no mine over 3 acres in size in Maine.
They’re not numbered . . . who ?
Is the water that is being extracted RENEWABLE? OR IS THT AQUAFUR BEING DEPLETED?
