Government scientists have shown that they can filter the precious metal from the state's shale gas wastewater: pulling tons of lithium per day, with little left behind.
They concluded that Pennsylvania alone could produce nearly half of the total US demand for lithium — starting in the first year — supplying this key compound that's needed to power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles to solar panels.
A project on this scale could make Pennsylvania a rust-belt Saudi Arabia, ending US dependence on lithium from China, which now controls 90 percent of the market.
People compare it to the Gold Rush, but the Gold Rush was pretty small scale, compared to what all this lithium's looking like,' Donnelly said.

Bidens EPA will not allow it while Trump’s policy says” “Drill , baby, drill!”
That should turn Pennsylvania Red.

Winnemucca is gonna be a lithium boomtown!
PA better get with it, NV is already booming with gold and Lithium
Democrats will never let them mine it if China doesn’t want them to.
Okay, send all of those unaccompanied illegal kids to Pennsylvania and put them to work mining lithium. Works overseas, might was well do the same here since they coming whether we like it or not. :)
China will PAY the Dems not to mine it.
All they have to do is threaten. China has so much dirt on Democrat politicians that they can blackmail them into doing anything.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Ironic that much of the Lithium rich areas overlays the Pennsylvania oil fields...
the early 19th century boom for ICE now may once again be in play for another technology.
But I'm holding out for Hydrogen cells.
>> Or they could use the excessive lithium to try to treat the mania of gender dysphoria.
I see what you did there. ROFL!
But will we have enough little black kids to collect it????
Looks like West Virginia could be the richest state in the nation soon LOL.
Michelle Pfeiffer, that white gold...
The marxist/socialists (Democratic Party) will tie this up on lawfare for 100 years. With the help of RINO judges, their success is guaranteed.
The libs have already shut down Thacker Pass Nevada.
Hillary must be kicking herself for missing the chance to sell it.
They could, but the government will regulate it to death.
With 72 proposed lithium mines across the US, the discovery could help reduce local ecological fallout as America shifts away from “greenhouse gas”-emitting fossil fuels. …LOL “shifts away from”. No, nobody is going to suddenly start buying battery-powered firetraps en masse. And this is of course not a new discovery.
One more reason to elect Trump.
More like proposed future National Parks if the Rats have anything to do with it.
