The Biden administration says it has completed a court-ordered review that should ensure construction continues at a Nevada lithium mine.
RENO, Nevada — The Biden administration says it has completed a court-ordered review that should ensure construction continues at a Nevada lithium mine, despite legal challenges brought by conservationists and tribal leaders.
Lithium is a key element needed to manufacture batteries for electric vehicles — a centerpiece of President Joe Biden's “clean energy” agenda intended to expedite a transition from fossil fuels to renewable forms of energy. Despite that ruling — and over the objections of environmentalists and tribes who now are appealing to the 9th Circuit — Du allowed construction to begin at the mine while the agency provides additional proof the company has the mineral rights necessary to dump waste rock and tailings from the operation on adjacent federal land.
The San Francisco-based 9th Circuit has scheduled oral arguments for the Thacker Pass appeal for June 26 in Pasadena, California. The new opinion “will support the timely review of mining proposals on federal lands and is one step of many" Interior is taking to “update guidance for mining companies to reflect the realities of the 21st century,” Deputy Interior Secretary Tommy Beaudreau said in a statement.
