Like the Dims will let them mine and process lithium in the U.S.

For what it's worth, IMHO if EV's and solar weren't forced onto people and sold only with the free market, the demand is low enough that our country could make the rare-earth's needed. Including lithium and cobalt. Between that and the fossil fuels we can produce on our own, in a free energy market all Americans could get what we want energy-wise without kowtowing to Cheyna or Russia or any other country.

Except that the Dims want Americans kowtowing to Dims. You can see it with how the Dims restrict processing rare-earths that are needed for the EV and solar dreams the Dims claim is good for us.

Really, really dumb...why didn’t they play the Solyndra game and have the government dole out taxpayer money for such an endeavor? Take the money and run?

And after an acceptable period of time, China will make an offer to Lithium Americas that will be too good to pass up andXChina will have their next move to cornering the heavy metals market. Facilitated by Creepy Joe, no doubt.

Expect about a 6 year legal battle over the migratory and mating patterns of the Desert Schnarbler, nematodus litigatus, a migratory worm, an essential, keystone creature critical to the desert ecology in the proposed area.

Good luck getting the Envirowhackos (â„¢Rush Limbaugh) to go along with the mining.

The Sierra Club will have it tied up in the courts for decades, saving the purple-breasted snail fish, or some such.

GM will never see a profit on the huge capital investments they made with EVs. Its a niche market and most people don’t want them. The company will go bankrupt by 2030.

Where's GM gonna get enough poverty-stricken little Congolese children to dig for lithium?

Awesome, let's level some mountains, pollute the ground water and wipe out wildlife.

Lithium for a carbon-free future.

Lithium/rare earth mines in America should be American owned.

Build all the battery powered cars they want. When there isn't enough electric infrastructure and coal to power those "clean energy cars" then what? ROFL!!

As a libtard said to me at work the other day: power generation is someone elses problem.

Yeah, until you can't plug your car in somewhere and charge it in 30 minutes, it's "someone elses problem".

What a complete bunch of dummies.
