#1 There is so damned much lithium waiting to be mined in Argentina and Chile that betting on its future is a mixed bag.

As some have asked and pointed out.

The way the Fed's are handling the WNC emergency and disaster, has many similarities to the Hawaii Fire.

Did those owners ever get to take back control of their properties again?

#3 ^ Some have. My experience with the Tubbs fire is that getting back to property is a long process. Just getting to the property through several N Guard security checkpoints was tedious. Don't get me going on going through govt bureaus to try to get anything done.

#4 I'm no fan of Blackrock but other than that I'm not sure I see the problem here. Is mining lithium any worse than mining uranium or even coal for that matter? Is it worse than drilling oil wells? Should we let the Chinese corner the market on lithium and use slaves to mine it? I dunno.
