A lithium mine is proposed for an area of desert near the Oregon-Nevada border that includes ancestral lands of several tribes.

In 2015, former President Barack Obama said "If we're going to prevent large parts of this Earth from becoming not only inhospitable but uninhabitable in our lifetimes, we're going to have to keep some fossil fuels in the ground rather than burn them." Despite this, Obama's energy policy was called "All of the Above," and

A proposed lithium mine along the Nevada-Oregon border would produce critical materials for electric car batteries along with local jobs, but critics say the damage to the environment, including the ancestral lands of multiple tribes, isn't worth it.

Proposed lithium mine in Nevada would damage ancestral lands for short-term benefits, critics say

On the border of northern Nevada and southeastern Oregon sits a caldera that formed around 16 million years ago through the collapse of a super volcano’s lava dome. Its formation created a soft clay sediment, and within it, one of the largest lithium deposits in the world. The McDermitt Caldera is the proposed site of […]

The use of lithium-ion batteries continues to grow exponentially, with some predicting the sector to be worth over $90 billion dollars by 2026. However, as...

Benson’s argument is that “mining critical metals is a necessity for a greener future.” But I would ask: a necessity for whom?

Activists fighting against a lithium mining project in Nevada have cut ties with two men they discovered were from an anti-trans group.
