Really?
They sure seem to lack your sophistication and think they can double production and process clay without a railroad. You gotta feel sorry for them lacking your expertise.
Then there's this:
Charlotte, North Carolina-based company Albemarle will invest between $30 million to $50 million this year to expand the capacity of its Silver Peak plant to produce lithium. The move should allow Albemarle to double production at the site by 2025, the company projected.
Albemarle currently produces lithium at Silver Peak by extracting the mineral from brine that it acquires from Nevada’s Clayton Valley basin. As part of its additional investment in the facility, the company is working with Argonne National Laboratory through a Department of Energy-sponsored research project to further optimize lithium extraction from brine. Albemarle also plans to start exploring lithium extraction from clay resources this year to further boost lithium production. Obviously, all that money will be wasted when they find out that it won't be "
comercially viable" without a railroad. You really do have to feel sorry for them for being so stupid to think they could pull this off with a "semi here - semi there...!"
Thank God for your expertise, or this board would be getting fake information.
