Sounds like a warp drive....

I say it's time to connect the dots:

United States Patent:  6,375,990 Lithium crystal delivery system.  Inventors:  Nemeroff; Charles B. (Atlanta, GA); Kilts; Clinton D. (Atlanta, GA)  Assignee:  Emory University (Atlanta, GA)  . 

Lithium is presently being recovered from brines of Searles Lake, in California, and from those in Nevada. Large deposits of quadramene are found in North Carolina.

Price of Lithium soars to all time high.

Chinese Trade Representatives Purchase Mining Operations in California and Nevada.

That is exactly what it sounds like. I wonder what the name of the patent holder is, Ephraim Cochran, perhaps?

Does this mean we finally get to meet the Vulcans?
