VisitConservationists, Native Tribe Sue to Block Nevada Lithium Mine Over Endangered Wildflower
Nov 3, 2024, 11:40 PM
Conservationists and a Native American tribe have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the construction of a lithium mine in Nevada. The plaintiffs argue that the mine will lead to the extinction of an endangered desert wildflower, disrupt groundwater flows, and threaten cultural resources. The lawsuit also highlights that the mine will crush a rare plant habitat deemed critical to the plant's survival. This legal action is part of a broader series of disputes over projects promoted by the Biden administration's clean energy agenda, which aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels by increasing lithium production for electric vehicle batteries and solar panels.
