"Volcanologists and geologists reported evidence of the #McDermitt caldera on the border of Nevada and Oregon containing up to 120 million tonnes of #lithium, holding the potential to disrupt the price and supply dynamics of lithium globally."

"Mining could begin as early as 2026, according to geologists at Lithium Americas Corporation, who made the discovery alongside GNS Science and Oregon State University.
HOWEVER, the site for a proposed mine on the Nevada side of the caldera has already drawn protests from environmental groups, as well as two area tribes who claim it would be built atop sacred land."

@CelloMomOnCars one of the nice things about lithium is, when we use it, it doesn't go up into the air to screw up the climate.
We've got to continue moving towards closing the loop and making sure we recycle the hell out of it.
