Iam torn on this one.
On the one hand this is a Mining state and I despise the green mafia that tries to kill any and all mining.
On the other, I want the EV madness to end ASAP and lack of Lithium is one way to achieve that.
Watching the greenie factions fight each other should be entertaining.
Makes no sense to hold the free market back.
However, Biden is absolutely not for the free market.
The point of the ev madness is to restrict free movement of the public. Blocking the mine would only make it more expensive, which contributes to that goal.
It has the added “benefit” of not having a US company and its employees being the beneficiary of production.
The real solution is to repeal the laws and regulations that give these suits life, which would apply to many industries.
Sort of like having guns available means criminals can get them easier too.
