Classic America. It will never really change. Enjoy your fake freedom.
No surprise, lithium is a hot commodity now. Everything takes a back seat to $$$.
The sooner we replace it with more common and benign chemistries like sodium batteries the better.
Everything takes a back seat to $$$.
In this case it is a survival issue. Climate change is killing the life support system, killing people directly with the violence and frequency of storms and fires and the heat.
Lithium extraction is as “benign” as sodium. The question here was not environmental damage that the mining causes but its location vs. Native American historical site.
Native American historical site.
it’s no such thing
Nah lithium is fine, all mining is destructive but lithium mining isn’t that bad and it’s recyclable.
I wish I could trace the money source. This reeks of big oil.
Reeks of NIMBY to me
Australian mining:
Native sacred sites are actually registered, etc. no such registration was done here. claiming it was a sacred site was just a hail mary by the NIMBY-type environmentalists, mean to manipulate the court and people like you.
Looks like it worked
just a hail mary by the NIMBY-type environmentalists,
It is the “NIMBY-type environmentalists” who are pushing EV’s and resultant Lithium mining.
In this case it was Native Americans over location to artifacts.
Lol, no it isn’t. Fack off with your bullshit
The Lithium mining company, Lithium Americas, is backed by China.

it’s a necessary loss. we need more way more mining to produce more evs to transition from harmful carbon
Ugh, suck it, Chief Slot Machine! Cry me a river for your sacred lands as you cash in on white vice
Government policy enforcement via litigation is immortal in my opinion. The government needs to be the one paying to enforce the law.
But here, the company was dragged through court and paid significant legal fees to defend itself against allegations the court ultimately threw out. So despite no legal basis, they were still punished with significant legal fees.You feel bad for a company?
If it has been treated unfairly. Companies are just people. Sometimes a lot of people some times one person.
Well shit, it’s mitt Romney
Oh, the truth is unpopular, who knew!
People sure hate facts sometimes!

Attorney fees aren’t going to bankrupt an established company, they budget for them. Particularly an OIL company. Dry your alligator tears, they will survive. And frankly, the perspective in this suit was that the company was breaking the law so by your logic the government should be paying and backing the plaintiff.
The judge needs to open up his EYES WIDER!!!
