Greens try lawsuits to thwart Nevada lithium mineBy Bonner Cohen, Ph. D. |February 28th, 2023 Green opponents to a proposed Biden administration-backed green energy project are making a last-ditch effort in court to block construction of a lithium mine about 200 miles northeast of Reno, Nevada.Joined by an Oregon tribe, four environmental groups Feb. 21 asked Reno-based U.S. District Judge Miranda Du to temporarily halt work on the proposed mine near the Oregon border until they have had time to appeal her ruling from earlier in the month to let the project, with certain restrictions, go forward. That appeal, in the form of an emergency motion, would be before the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.“This mine should not be allowed to destroy public lands unless and until the Ninth Circuit Court has determined whether it was legally approved,” Talasi Brooks, a lawyer for the Western Watersheds Project, told ABC News.https://www.cfact.org/2023/02/28/greens-try-lawsuits-to-thwart-nevada-lithium-mine/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=greens-try-lawsuits-to-thwart-nevada-lithium-mine&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=greens-try-lawsuits-to-thwart-nevada-lithium-mine
