A interesting fact is trump signing the executive order has drastically shorten the time line on getting permits not just with peidmont but all mining companies . Interesting tesla signed the deal before Trump announced signing the order ? The way i look at it the executive order has leveled the playing field . lac is 1 year or less ahead of a few other lithium mining companies . It's going to be interesting to see who gets the financing first . 

deal with tesla correct me if i am wrong but aren't 4 executives from lac former tesla employees ? Bad blood between them ? Or just smart enough not to play elons game ?
