  1. 80% of Nevada is federal property anyways. And Nevada has been getting nuked and bombs dropped on it since 1945. Nevada's lithium is more important to the USA geopolitically than it is to Nevada's people. Sorry, but Nevada has always been dealt a bad hand and it will get more until the Colorado River dries up and everyone flees the state.

  2. "Synthetic" and chemicals are all still mined. Matter doesn't just warp into existence. It all comes from somewhere. And the more synthetic something is, the more energy needed to create it

  3.  @TheCreeperTrack1  Whether it's intentional or not, destabilizing Central America and the Middle East while prorogating the image of the USA being "the Land of the Free" has and will keep increasing the USA's population. In the future, (And somewhat today), large consumer economies drive global markets. The more people you have, the more important you are. Canada's goal is to have a population of 100 million by 2100 for that very reason. The USA will not see a population stagnation for a long time. China, Japan, South Korea, Russia and most of Western Europe have a lot to be worried about with shrinking populations. Who knows? Maybe that's one of the reasons why many EU nations supported the Middle Eastern wars and welcomed immigrants so much. Sweden took in so many. As of 2010, 14% of their population is foreign-born. Those immigrants bring in lots of money and influence. In the next couple of centuries, Africa, India, Indonesia, the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Pakistan will move to much more dominate global positions while Europe and Russia shrink in global influence simply because of demographics

  4. I'm sorry. I love the environment, but I also love America. We need to be independent and mine our own lithium.

  5.  @steviewonderisnotblind5833  Communism is an ideology, but is in no way feasible. A global utopia? Not feasible. I would say you're a Communist. but you asked God for help

  6.  @christal2641  You can never have a truly Communist country. Communism calls for the destruction of nation states

  7. You need lithium batteries to store energy for long periods

  8. Let people starve or restrict reproduction

  9. Yup. We can harvest it from Africa and destroy that environment, but here in the US with proper regulations? NO WAY!

  12. Are you saying need to start killing large amounts of people?

  13. Why are you watching an American News Channel on the USA's problems? Why do you care?

  14. Are you saying Mass-shootings are good?

  15. Yeah, but what about the desert lizards that will be affected by the asteroid?

  16. True environmentalists should jump off a cliff, but I suppose that too would have an impact on the environment. "This mine will destroy my love from driving my gasoline care out here and looking at birds"

  17. If we all live on asteroids or Mars, we don't have to worry about wildlife or the environment

  18.  @steviewonderisnotblind5833  Well mining asteroids and terraforming Mars for human-habitation in the next 200-300 years seems much more possible and viable and healthy for the human race than some fantasy like Communism or Star-Trek or god forbid some plan to control the human population growth

  19.  @leastbloodthirstyneocon2776  You cannot be human and not damage or impact the environment in some way

  20.  @nolanyoung8786  Environmentalists should lead by example instead of impeding progress and what currently helps the Greater Good. That same guy said we need to reduce the human population. But I bet he also protests mass-shootings too

  21. What are you on about?

  24. It's rather obvious. You have to displace people and animals to mine Lithium in China, Bolivia, or South Africa.

  25. So mass-shootings are a good thing?

  26. Where does the chemistry come from? From the ether? Or is that also material that is mined?
