Do you research, at all before you spout?

We just scored a HUUUGE Lithium find in Arkansas:

By Communications and Publishing October 21, 2024
RESTON, Va. — Using a combination of water testing and machine learning,
a U.S. Geological Survey-led study estimated between 5 and 19 million
tons of lithium reserves are located beneath southwestern Arkansas. If
commercially recoverable, the amount of lithium present would meet
projected 2030 world demand for lithium in car batteries nine times over.

And...

At full production, Carolina Lithium is expected to produce 30,000
metric tons per year of lithium hydroxide per conversion train for a
total of 60,000 metric tons annually. This capacity would provide a
fourfold increase to the current domestic production of approximately
20,000 metric tons annually.

https://www.cbs17.com/news/north-carolina-news/nc-lithium-mine-to-reopen-with-90-million-pentagon-order-to-help-increase-u-s-production/

A $90 million agreement to purchase lithium from Albemarle, based in
Charlotte, will increase domestic production of lithium for the nation’s
battery supply chain, the Pentagon said in a news release.

The agreement under the Defense Production Act will help reopen the
Kings Mountain lithium mine, which will support the manufacturing of
about 1.2 million electric vehicles annually, officials said.
