Large Lithium deposits found in New England

Estimates are there’s enough Lithium in northern New England from VT thru NH into Maine for the US battery needs for decades if not centuries. The problem with it is it has to be mined and that sometimes is not very environmentally friendly. VT, NH and ME rely heavily on tourism which could be greatly affected by the mining of Lithium.

Great for the battery industry. I thought we would have moved on from Lithiun by now.

Additionally, the discovery of a huge lode of rare earth minerals in Norway is a boon to further developments in the field of electronics.

About 19% of Norways’s oxides are neodymium and praseodymium, key materials used in permanent magnets for electric vehicles and wind turbines.
