Pierre and people like him are taking steps from the Trump playbook. If you say it long enough many people will believe it to be true. As for the refinery, hopefully Canadian regulators will take proper measures to ensure it meets high standards to protect the environment and lives of people in the surrounding area unlike what goes on here in the states where corporations dictate what the regulations are, how they are monitored, and how violations are dealt with.

I am nicking the essence of this post. Norway has been a raw material "slave" to EU. With the discovery of a very promising field of minerals we have an opportunity to change that.

The process, the process

You spew the crap the government wants you to focus on

Let's agree to disagree

You'll see.

Lithium refinery?

Poison yourself with that.

Nothing to brag about.

I hope it's at least back east and not out west.

Jeez

Canada, you have nothing to prove.

Just be who you are.

You're starting to sound like us

What are you going on about? Lithium is a critical mineral used in batteries, cell phones, etc. and is essential for the transition to clean energy.

Lithium battery production?

That's clean?

Look into the process.

It's hideous.

I bet you'll find uou don't want that on your land, in the air...

I’ve looked into the process - it involves recycling used batteries to extract the lithium. Unless you think throwing old batteries into the landfill is a good idea?

Look deeper

That's not all there is

It’s pretty obvious you’re not very cognizant of the necessity of lithium in the world today.

Lithium is used in psychiatry as a mood stabilizer. It’s used in schizophrenia for impulse control, for vascular headaches, and is known to have anti-suicidal properties.

It’s ’s also used in rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles as well as all Laptops, phones, pacemakers, clocks, and virtually any sort of electronic toy.

And I would hazard a guess that you’re understanding of lithium mining and refining is based on American methods we companies disregard every pollution law there is and get away with it on a regular basis. That doesn’t happen in Canada. We have very strict laws and we have major consequences for people that break those laws. Our country isn’t run by billionaires.
