Unassuming Arkansas town is about to become epicenter of US's lithium boom: Magnolia - a blue-collar town where 25% of its 11k population are unemployed - is sitting on a multi-billion-dollar gold mine of precious metal... and oil companies are circling

Nah. This mining operation will get the “Windmill Worship” from the green lefties. The sad irony is that most the bad faith actors in these operations are not from ExxonMobil, et.al., they are embedded within government and federal agencies.

So close to Louisiana. Nothing but cotton and swamps.

Joe Briben will find a way to pass the lithium off to China so the CCP can profit instead of the evil oil companies.

As if the democrats would allow mining anyway. LIthium mining is terribly toxic to the environment. IF ONLY there was a cheap abundant product in liquid form that didn’t require massive amounts of property, processing, or slave mined rare earth.

But that being said... Enjoy the “chert” piles of toxic waste...

Why did this make me think of “The Brothers O’Toole”?

? So everyone is going to have a tooth increase of 100% ?

All the way up to 2 ?!

Then they can start calling it a teethbrush instead of a toothbrush ?

And the Dental Community applauds their dumb luck, now they can add the extraction process to their Billing/Accounting System yet still be able to retain their Patients for regular cleanings !

(Just kidding around, there’s some good people in Arkansas but they still have their share of useless jerks.)

“Hispanic or Latino 479 4.29%”

I wonder if that number’s increased, with all the illegal alien invaders being “imported” into America’s small towns and cities?

[Carriage Hill]

LOL!

Good imitation, ma!

Lithium batteries are a good power source.

Ryobi (Taiwan) has made this perfectly clear.

And it is good low voltage back up DC power much more practical.

I hated cordless tools until NIMH batteries came along and then Lithium batteries blew that away. They are expensive and must be charged properly, but performance is incredible. Life of battery is long.

Magnolia is home to the World’s Largest Charcoal Grill and the World Championship Steak Cookoff, part of the Magnolia Blossom Festival.....mmmm
