The world’s richest known lithium deposit lies deep in the woods...

The world’s richest known lithium deposit lies deep in the woods of western Maine, in a yawning, sparkling mouth of white and brown rocks that looks like a landslide carved into the side of Plumbago Mountain.
The timing of their discovery, in what has been named Plumbago North, is remarkable; the Freemans have stumbled across one of the only hard-rock sources of lithium in the U.S. at a time when the material is desperately needed for the clean energy transition.
By 2040, the world will need at least

1.1 million metric tons

of lithium annually, more than ten times what it currently produces, according to projections by the International Energy Agency.

AND THEY CAN'T MINE IT!!!
