World's biggest lithium reservoir found in Nevada?

That is good news for battery manufacturers.

Isn’t that what Hillary sold the Russians? Maybe that was something different, uranium I think.

Plutonium?

"The US is slowly abandoning gas-powered cars for electric vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions - but the shift also means it will be more reliant on other countries, like China, to provide the necessary materials."

Well, it looks like China is getting ready to stomp on Taiwan.

I thought the US was protecting Taiwan. This might curb that getting "necessary materials" from China.

I can see the dems led by byedun selling all of it to china.

Don't worry. Pedo Joe will make domestic mining for lithium illegal, so we'll have to keep buying it from China.

Good luck ever getting any of it out of the ground. Even if it were a good idea (battery powered crap) the nannies will never let it through the environmental permitting process.

The current commies will shut any efforts down or sell it to the Chicoms like Hillary did when she approved the sale of 20%ish of our uranium to the Russians. Yay!

Not to worry. According to the experts here if China does invade Taiwan it will not effect us and is none of our business. Just because it will allow China to claim a much bigger area of the S China sea and control the shipping lanes does not matter. Nor the computer chip manufacturing, fishing grounds, etc, etc, etc. They like paying much higher prices.

Hillary sold off uranium mines to Rossatom, a russian company with the help of her gov't connections. Good news though, we did buy it back. As for Plutonium it is man made, not mined. Uranium 238 bombarded by extra neutrons in a breeder reactor and one is good to go with their way to a bomb. Plutonium does exist in nature here on earth (Oklo), but in such small quantities that would make it a futile gesture to mine. As for Nevada Lithium, EPA makes it next to impossible to mine.
