In fairness to Jeniffer Solis, the author of the article in Nevada Current, she did reserve a couple of small paragraphs in her extended piece for a sort of rebuttal and counter view from Lithium Nevada:

______________________________________________________________________

"“Lithium Nevada is working hard to ensure impacts to historic artifacts are mitigated,” said Tim Crowley, vice president of government affairs and community relations for Lithium Nevada in June.

“The project will also benefit the U.S. and broader global economies by contributing to renewable energy development and carbon reduction through our planned production of high-purity lithium chemicals,” Crowley added.

Thanks, Jeniffer, for that "balanced" (?) approach to "journalism".  Thanks for squeezing in a small token of a different viewpoint.  You must have been an A+ student in "J" School!!  Your professors would be so very proud.

We are truly in for a battle.  

Wait for it... you absolutely knew I was leading up to another one of those overused and over quoted Sun Tzu quotes that seem to come out from every Business Administration Masters graduate and pseudoliterate High School drop out whenever anyone is talking about a "battle". 

Well, so as not to disappoint:

• “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

No matter whether it is Sun Tzu or Sleezy Joe at the barber shop who opines it, the truth is:  Never underestimate the strength of your enemy... and Wilbert/Falks and DGR are truly the "enemy" when it comes to the future of the proposed Thacker Pass lithium clay mine. 

 JMO, maybe... let's see what happens in the next 6 months or so.
