Buried Treasure: Massive Lithium Discovery Could Power America for Generations

Deep beneath one of America’s oldest mountain ranges, scientists say a vast and largely untapped resource could reshape the country’s energy future.

According to the New York Post, geologists have identified what may be a massive supply of lithium hidden throughout the Appalachian Mountains.

This find could significantly reduce reliance on imports used to power everyday technology.

“This research shows that the Appalachians contain enough lithium to help meet the nation’s growing needs,” said Ned Mamula in a statement.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the region may contain roughly 2.5 metric tons of lithium, with the highest concentrations in parts of the Carolinas, Maine, and New Hampshire.

Therein lies the problem.

Good luck mining anything, except mail-in ballots for Dems, in New England.

Our current motto is "Not In My Back Yard".

2.5 metric tons doesn't sound like much at all...

Will battery tech even use lithium in 10 years?
