Why is the U.S. Department of Defense giving $90 million to a private corporation to reopen an old lithium mine in Western North Carolina?

Leo Hohmann

The citizens of Kings Mountain, N.C., do not want the dust, debris, truck traffic and environmental degredation of a lithium mine in their community, but will their local politicians sell them out?

Even the World Economic Forum has gone on the record highlighting the need for more lithium heading into the digital age and the globalists’ penchant for electrification of everything. Not just cars and trucks but lawn equipment, stoves, water heaters, you name it, they want it to run on electricity instead of coal, oil or gas.
Against this backdrop, the U.S. government is looking inward for more sources of lithium. That’s where North Carolina enters the scene.
The federal government is pressuring a small town in North Carolina to allow an old lithium mine to be reopened, despite local backlash against the corporation seeking a permit.
