It's not like BLM is going to make any money for the US government on this -- keep in mind that their only job is to follow the law. And it's too bad AZL has no lithium to sell either now or for the next four or five years, and then maybe from Lordsburg. There's a lot of lithium right now in Australia, and I'm hoping they sell enough of it to afford some schools to train scientists and engineers on how to turn it into batteries instead of shipping it all off to China. Doesn't solve the graphite monopoly, but that's a discussion for another time.
