NOU has what it takes!Big News on TVA Channel! Great job!
I think the protestors haven't thought about the fact that this is the only all electric open mine in the world! A very environemental friendly projet! Propulsion Quebec study will come out in spring 2019 and I am sure they will rank Nouveau Monde on top position of green projects.
Without Nou's clean graphite, North America will have to keep getting dirty graphite from other countries polluting the world and getting richer out of it. In the long run, if another country takes the monopole of the electric revolution, I am afraid it's not looking very good for our kids. This is why I strongly support NOU and Hydro-quebec in their quest of the electric revolution.
Partnership with Hydro-Quebec is the key factor to their future success

M. Zaghib mentions that HQ is 5 years ahead of competition around the globe for battery technology. I believe him especially after reading that the US army when to seek their expertise to develop the 5V battery.
