The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has approved an expansion of the Silver Peak lithium mine in Esmeralda County, Nevada, operated by Albemarle Corporation. The plan enlarges the site and adds new wells, pipelines, and processing infrastructure to boost lithium recovery for battery production. Federal officials say the move strengthens domestic supply of a critical mineral for electric vehicles and energy storage, while environmental reviews and oversight will continue as development proceeds. Currently, Silver Peak is the only fully active lithium mine in the US. . It has been in operation since the 1960s and currently supplies virtually all domestically mined lithium for battery, industrial and defense uses. However, that doesn’t mean it’s the only place in the U.S. with lithium resources. There are several additional projects at earlier stages — under construction or permitting.   https://sierrawave.net/blm-approves-expansion-of-silver-peak-lithium-mine/

Bartimaeus The Blind Beggar In my first year as a vice principal in 2006, I asked my principal what I needed to learn or do to become a principal. I have always been ambitious. At the time, my goal was clear — I wanted to build my tool belt and be ready when the opportunity came to be a principal. He told me, “The first thing you have to do is let people know what you want to do.” Fast forward twenty years. I’m sitting in church and my pastor is telling the story of Bartimaeus, the blind beggar. According to scripture, Bartimaeus wanted to see. When his moment came, he started shouting for help. The crowd tried to silence him, but he only yelled louder. Eventually, he was called forward. He threw off his coat, clearly stated what he wanted, and he received his sight.
