Liberals so confused!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Good day all. The Progressive Liberal Democrats have been pushing electric cars, (EV\u2019s) down people\u2019s throats since January 21st<\/sup>, 2021. Beside the issue that no one actually wants them, there is another problem. The batteries in these cars use a rare earth mineral called lithium.<\/p>\n

Finding and mining lithium has always been an issue. Most of the lithium mines are controlled by the People\u2019s Republic of China. There have been a few major discoveries of lithium in the United States. However, you have to deal with the EPA\u2019s tyrannical hatred of anything that puts a scratch on a rock. Now a new potential source of lithium has been found, however, the source is going to cause liberals real conniptions. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

The discovery of the potential for thousands of tons of lithium to be extracted annually from wastewater generated by fracking in the Marcellus Shale leaves proponents of a green energy future at a crossroads, Republicans said Thursday. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A University of Pittsburgh study<\/a> suggested processing byproducts from natural gas production in Pennsylvania’s Marcellus Shale basin could potentially meet nearly half of U.S. lithium needs. The typical electric vehicle (EV) requires nearly 18 pounds of lithium to power its battery. That figure grows exponentially for Teslas, according to reports. <\/b><\/p>\n

This is really big if it proves out. Filtering the water used to break apart the shale and pulling recoverable and economic amounts of lithium is going to be a major financial boon for the companies drilling in that area. It also is causing issues with the Progressives. They hate fracking and want all fracking stopped right this minute. However, they also love their EV\u2019s and those need batteries, and the current best means of storing electricity involves lots of lithium. You can see how this can cause a full blown mental breakdown for them<\/p>\n

Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., who represents much of the Marcellus territory, told Fox News he wants to see those on the left change their tune. <\/b><\/p>\n

“Now nearly 40% of our nation\u2019s domestic need for lithium can be found right here as a byproduct of fracking,” he said. “I fully expect every single Democrat to join Republicans in supporting domestic natural gas development.”\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

I can just see the Democrats trying to resolve this. They want to shut down fracking and kill all energy production that doesn\u2019t involve unicorn farts, yet they also know they need lithium for their toy EV\u2019s. I actually have a video of the Democrats trying to resolve this.<\/p>\n
