Boo hiss! #Colonialism at work!

US government takes equity stake in one of the world’s largest #LithiumMines

The #Trump administration is now a significant stakeholder in the controversial mine at #ThackerPass.

by Justine Calma
Oct 1, 2025

"Donald Trump’s administration is taking a 5 percent equity ownership of mining company Lithium Americas, on top of another 5 percent stake in the company’s joint mining project with GM in Nevada, the #DepartmentOfEnergy announced yesterday. The mine at Thacker Pass is expected to become the largest producer of lithium in the Western Hemisphere once it opens in 2028.

"Lithium is a crucial component in batteries used for electric vehicles, wind and solar energy storage, and rechargeable devices of all kinds. Both the Biden and Trump administrations have sought to wean the US off foreign imports of lithium. This announcement is the latest step President Trump has taken to assert more control over domestic supply chains for key materials.

"The Thacker Pass mine is supposed to produce around 40,000 metric tons of #LithiumCarbonate annually for batteries once it’s fully operational. US production of lithium is currently under 5,000 metric tons. For comparison, China — the third-biggest lithium producer after Australia and Chile — already produces 40,000 metric tons annually.

"The mine has been under construction since 2023, following fierce opposition from nearby Native American tribes. Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union found that the federal government’s permitting of the mine violated Indigenous peoples’ rights in a February 2025 report, alleging it failed to obtain 'free, prior, and #InformedConsent' from affected tribes. Ranchers and environmental groups concerned about the mine’s impact on local #water sources and endangered species have also opposed the project."

In its mission to destroy American #energyindependence, #DepartmentOfEnergy has now banned any discussion of any of the technologies that might get #America off of foreign #oil, or of the problem that those technologies might solve – at behest of former #oil executive who wants to raise fuel prices.
Memo tells empoyees not to use phrases that are relevant to their position and to solving the greatest challenge that humanity has ever created for itself: #climatechange.
