No way the tree huggers allow it to be extracted from the Earth.

Hmmm. I suspect this might be a conundrum for those voters up that way: environmental destruction in their own backyards versus materials for “green energy.”

Screw lithium and the damage it does via mining.

I don't like it either but we need to be able to take care of ourselves and not ever depend on other countries. I hope there is a better way to mine it than they do in other countries. Lithium may be replaced with something more efficient in the near future.
AI Overview
Sodium-ion and aluminum-ion batteries are the most promising alternatives to lithium, offering higher abundance, safety, and lower costs. Other emerging, high-efficiency options include magnesium-ion (high energy density) and graphene-aluminum (fast charging) technologies, designed to improve energy storage efficiency, speed, and safety over conventional lithium-ion batteries.

Nah, don't destroy that area with strip mining. Stick with DLE.

Unless the fed govt claims imminent domain for national security, those states will never allow it.
Look at NY. They sit on part of Marcellus and wont frack. They wont allow new gas lines. Heck they even outlawed gas for larger buildings in the city, new construction.
They are part of that "parlor game" the regional greenhouse gas initiative, same org the state of Virginia just joined. So the rggi buys and sells carbon credits, the power companies add to your bill, and the state then decides how to use it (thats three layers of labor). They then spend it to help lower the bills of poor people......isnt this what Stacey Abrams did, bought 8 refrigerators and promised to buy a bunch more so they gave her 2 billion?
Its a ponzi scheme and they roll it into the power bill under "transfer fees".
Then they buy power from Canada and when the tariffs kicked in, blame all the utility costs on Trump.
Net effect, a NYer pays more than double per kilowatt hour than a person living in Miami.

Don't mess with my Appalachian trail!

Will this affect the “seng” industry?

You think people get upset when they find out a datacenter is being built in their backyard?
Wait until they hear about the lithium mine going in next door.

Wonderful whites of West Virginia fina eat

That would be poetic justice if West Virginia struck gold with this.
Its similar to Guyana down here. For untold years it was the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, only surpassed by Haiti. They tried and tried to find oil.
Now no one can bury their pet cat without oil spurting up (I kid its all offshore).
Those folks will be pumping a million and a half barrels in a few short years, with a population of less that a million.
