China vs USA


 In Nevada, conservationists and Indigenous activists are camped at the site of a proposed open-pit lithium mine as the project is challenged in court. A rare wildflower has a second mine in the state at a standstill. Maine’s mining laws, some of the strictest in the nation, will make it nearly impossible to extract lithium from a large deposit there without changes by the legislature. And the future of a lithium mine in rural North Carolina is in the hands of a seven-member county board with power over zoning. (from POLITICO).    

China is extracting from its own mines (pic) and its mines in Africa. The USA is developing mines in Chile and Argentina. 

Lithium is a strategic mineral. I don't know what to add.
