Lithium Mining at the Edge of DV

[GowerGulch42]

I can't speak for Nevada, but that is very much the case in Oregon, Washington, and California. Nevada has rather permissive mining regulations, but the big battle with the style of mining that is planned for many of Nevada's identified and predicted lithium deposits is that it will require huge amounts of water. Like salt mining, they pump out lithium-enriched groundwater and pump in more water to keep the cycle going. These styles of mines will look similar to Trona and Silver Peak.

It is also true that environmental lobbies have never been stronger in world history.
