The price of lithium is way down from its 2022-23 peak. Piedmont Lithium (now calling itself just “Piedmont”, snicker) was getting permits for a mine west of Charlotte, but they’ve pretty much given up now due to the price drop.
Too bad: the geologists and the community relations rep were nice. They gave a nice talk to our environmental science co-op and then took us to what was going to be the mine site but is still old fields, instead. We got to see spodumene in the wild, which was cool.

Of course. A federal judge will block it.

Tribal communities, including members of the Fort McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Tribe, have accepted a fat check from competing interests expressed concern about the mine’s potential impact on ancestral lands, springs, and archaeological sites. Fixed.

I wonder what needs protected?
Of course we can’t get the lithium.
We have to buy from China, our best buddy, where they don’t care much about how it’s mined, and then ship it on ships powered by heavy fuel oil across the Pacific.
Yes, that makes perfect environmental sense.

lithium isn’t really the big problem with EVs: the so-called rare earth metals that are necessary to make the motor-generators are the big stumbling block [that and the fact that it takes tons of batteries for 18 wheelers and the like and the charging time for big rigs] ...

Looks like the usual suspects of environmental groups suing over upsetting the delicate balance in a place few have laid eyes on and Indian tribes smelling a big pay day while putting their hands out with the old it’s on ancestral native lands narrative have crawled out of the woodwork.
