Biden administration approves ioneer's Nevada lithium mine.

Last week, the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project in Nevada became the first-ever lithium mine to receive the green light from the Biden administration. Shares of project owner, Ioneer Ltd (NASDAQ:IONR), have surged more than 20% after the announcement, with the company saying it received final federal approval for the project from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management as part of the Biden administration's attempt to boost domestic production of minerals seen as critical for electric vehicle batteries.

    This is a despicable move by the outgoing administration. Funny thing is, the vice in the administration says they have the best needs for the planet at heart while letting su h things fly. This obviously affects their chances of winning the election too.

      I wonder why these leaders operate on a double standard platform. Biden should know that what he has done is wrong.

        @tabitha_kimani Oh he knows, he just doesn't care. Odds are, the investors made a significant donation towards the presidential campaign and this meant all caution and environmental responsibility was thrown out of the window.

        The Boden administration has been on the right track, it shouldn't back down on this fight by approving such projects

            Biden should not allow this to go down in history as one of the last actions of his presidency.This is a huge environmental mistake that needs to be corrected as early as now.

              This mine will likely lead to environmental degradation, disrupt local ecosystems, and jeopardize the health of nearby communities. It’s ironic to push for a clean energy transition while greenlighting a project that could cause significant harm to the environment.

                This project has the potential to create jobs and stimulate economic growth in Nevada

                  This is a big disappointment from the US government and a big blow to climate action efforts.

                    @joseph_githinji Climate Action has to be demanded and enacted by citizens because depending on world governments to act will be in vain. We have to make the decisions ourselves and make a change for the best now.

                      @videlis_wanjiru Too little too late. Under their administration, the US has even increased it's reliance on fossil fuels and let's be honest, even the next candidates will not change anything. Both frontrunners will continue with such detrimental policies.
