RE:USA race for lithium but environmental problems The U.S. has its eyes on Canada big time and late stage projects would see a massive influx of cash from the U.S. government if the Canadian companies involved see value in the partnership. Every article I've read on this subject discusses the massive reserves in this country but no production. I would bet that CRE has had discussions with every company, government, OEM etc since they are so late stage and a deposit that isn't throwing monkey wrenches when it comes to conversion. Now all we need is for the Canadian government, etc not to screw this up.
