So torn on this one.
I support mining and the Lithium needs to come from somewhere domestically instead of China.
I despise Greenie carpetbaggers.
Nearly all of the “Protestors” (Who is paying them, China?) are from outside this state.
But I also loath the effort to cram EV’s down our throats.
Me too. I'm for energy diversification, mainly for my family. (My wife and I have both an ICE car and an EV so that if the Dim control freaks mess up one energy source we have at least one car based on another energy source.) So I'm for a free market of both oil supply and electrical supply (including electrical storage like lithium batteries). I'm also for energy independence as a nation (as you alluded to hating our lithium coming solely from China).
And like you I can't stand the forcing of EV's onto us.
If you are torn look into which side the Biden’s have put money into and support the other side.
