"...And after all these years I am sure most of us are tired of constant court arguments and simply ready for a decision..."

I can only second this opinion, because I feel the same. Over all those years, all possible arguments were mentioned at least twice either here or on TOB and all is left is "DU" or "DU NOT" and then wait 3-5 years till the mine is operational. What else can be said?

I am just slightly disappointed, that C-O has been delayed, because all those "low hanging fruits" could have been collected by now. LAC gave it to ALB and SQM, hopefully for greater reward.

It all depend, how long this "lithium fewer" will last. My bet is maybe another 5-10 years max, then the reality will hit the fan and even the most stubborn greenwashers will see, that EV were just another use of fossil fuel.

I am moving across the table to another element, which made me interested - He.
