Keeping informed about e-vehicles
Yesterday, (6.26.23), ProtectThackerPass.org tweeted:
All life on Earth depends on healthy, flourishing ecosystems. Mining and extraction destroy ecosystems. Therefore, mining and extraction are incompatible with life on planet Earth. That's why we must keep it in the ground—all of it—(including) all materials required to make batteries.
This morning, (6.27.23) NPR aired a story about Native American tribes and environmentalists who aim to halt lithium mining at Thacker Pass, Nevada.

Mining lithium will use and pollute five million gallons of water, daily.
Lithium Nevada Corporation has sued seven protesters for interfering with their contract to mine the land.
Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland (a member of the Pueblo of Laguna and the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary) has not accepted invitations to meet with protesters.
