However, Lithium Americas has faced stiff resistance from local groups since it bought the concession in 2017, including the Great Basin Resource Watch and several local Native American tribes, who argue mining threatens their local water sources, sensitive wildlife, and sacred sites. In July, a federal court rejected their challenge, approving the mining company’s project.

But of course!
Who cares about water? There's profit to be made!
they're going to fuck over the locals & probably do some environmental destruction, before remembering yankee mining labor is expensive and putting the project on hold until all the child-labor mines in the third world under US puppets are empty
or they'll send migrant kids to the mines, actually that seems more plausible rn
They're rolling back child labor laws it's gonna be honest blue collared American children running the Mines before long.
Wish I could be there to see some dipshit boomer call his 9 year old son a snowflake for complaining he can't breathe right.
You say that like it's a joke but fortunately America has a class of people they can brutalize even within their own borders.
Tribes already saying they wish they wouldn't destroy the ecosystem, water table, and ancestral homelands for batteries.
Wonder who the government will side with.
Casually sprinkling Lithium around Bundy's cows and blame the mine.
It's not enough to have the resource; others must be deprived of it.
The corrupt regime of the Nevada governor must come to an end.
Anyone know how a big lithium deposit forms in a volcano, or anywhere?
Weird eh?
Malheur-key.
