President Biden named as his Interior Secretary Deb Haaland a Laguna Pueblo Native American. During her tenure as a Federal Congress woman she was a critic of Trump's de regulatory agenda and supported limits on fossil fuel development.

Still, I believe that JRl's project will move forward due to: 1) the availability of new less impactful technologies such as Lilac's, 2) A" too big to fail" situation if the final Lithium resource proves to be too large to ignore ( a" monster") and 3) the fact that it is located in mining- friendly Nevada. As an aside, if any significant Lithium is found in Oregon, this portion of the resource may present a greater challenge because Oregonians are very pro environment.
