And lots of it. Governments can’t mandate adoption of greener technologies and then let the production means to accomplish those goals be blocked and denied at every turn.

We’re going to need lots of lithium and cobalt to for batteries. Big lithium operations are gearing up in North Carolina and out west that will strip thousands upon thousands of acres and it’s necessary if we want an electric future.

Basically it’s NIMBY behavior, it makes sense that the couple of dissenters were the far right judges because of the religious angle argued.
