Thanks, rkeeb... and Thanks to JDubski for posting over on the Link Library: 

"Interview with NV Director of Conservation and Natural Resources."

JD has referred us to the 20:13 time point on this video presentation from "Nevada Newsmakers" for Friday, 23 July 2021.

"All the challenges related to Thacker Pass, from my perspective, from my jurisdiction, are manageable. They just need to be managed.”

Thanks to JDubski for the link to the video and to rkeeb for the link to the article about the same thing.  Great finds, guys!
