    We need a government with the balls to nationalize this shit, and charge for every single gram that’s being extracted. And do the same with every other natural resource, including oil.

                Great! Let’s sell this off to multinationals ASAP so we can accelerate pillaging the land without consultation, outsource the jobs and ensure the fewest Canadians benefit from the windfall.

                    It’s funny cause it’s true. Trump wants to invade Greenland and Canada; it’s not just because he’s a piece of shit dictator. He’s after resources for his cronies.

                                We have significant lithium mines in Australia, we produce the most lithium in the world presently. Zero child or slave labour.

                                        I know there’s been lots of headlines in the past like OMG there’s not enough lithium! It’s never been true.

                                        It’s one of the most abundant elements out there, it’s everywhere. It was always more about what reserves we knew about, but when what we knew about wasn’t going to be enough, people go looking, and it’s abundant.

                                        Also the more uses there are for it, the more profitable it is to extract from these methods and the better we get at it, the cheaper it is to extract, which further opens up even more options.
