South America is the primary source of lithium.

We could, but we won't any time soon.

There is literally a mountain of the stuff in Maine.

But Maine has a law outlawing any mine over 3 acres.

You can extract lithium from fracking flowback.

The US could actually produce oil and lithium at the same time.

Take a wild guess who produces a lot of lithium.

Oh.
