@Museek: What are the odds they have something lines up for private companies to go and take that huge lithium deposit in the PNW?
@redenigma @Museek: Yeah. Alas. When the news broke, I immediately figured GovCo. would go after it for private companies and that they'd do it for national security, the economy (Wall Street only), and energy independence.
@thedisasterautist @Museek we will never be energy independent if we don't massively increase solar & wind power. we do not have the refining types or capacity to utilize the oil we have here. it's for export only. drill, baby, drill is only making companies richer, not lowering prices here... but the rubes can't understand how they have been duped.
