#NASA opposes #lithium #mining at tabletop flat #Nevada desert site used to calibrate #satellites
An ancient Nevada #lakebed could become a vast source of the lithium used in electric car batteries, reports the Associated Press. But "NASA says the same site — flat as a tabletop and undisturbed like none other in the Western Hemisphere — is indispensable for calibrating the razor-sharp measurements of hundreds of satellites orbiting overhead."
