The U.S. Bureau of Land Management issued a record of decision on Trump’s final Friday in office for an open-pit lithium mine at Thacker Pass, which is roughly 53 miles (85 kilometers) north of Winnemucca, Nevada.

I don't normally see news worth reading pop up on yahoo, but this was interesting.

The approval of the mine is among several eleventh-hour decisions issued by Trump’s Department of Interior to advance energy and mining projects, including a West Virginia oil pipeline and an Arizona copper mine on land the San Carlos Apache Tribe considers sacred. Unlike those decisions, which could be reversed, Thacker Pass procured the final federal permit needed to begin construction — one difficult to overturn.

Good.  Now we won't have to go to Rigel XII to get lithium.

That's TRIlithium. Don't you know anything at all about Battlestar Galactica?!?

Don't be silly.  Trilithium is used to power a light saber.

No, no, no.....  You have to go through the Ring to get lithium.  That was in the Last Starfighter.

Try lithium?  No thanks. Just say no to drugs, kids.

I think everyone needs to chill out and take a nice drink of water.

I thought lithium-7 (seplithium) was the really bad stuff.

Septlithium dideuteride makes for an excellent neutron garnish for your fissile platings that you might serve when catering a special house warming event.  :cool:
