USA News Group Commentary VANCOUVER, BC, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Coming off a major market correction in 2023 down from 2-2022's record highs, the lithium market is primed for a rebound in 2024.

The energy transition that requires vast amounts of minerals like copper and lithium to move the economy from dependence on fossil fuels to renewable sources of electricity has created a shift in the tension between environmentalists and the mining industry. Conservation groups find themselves opposing mining projects that aim to extract metals like copper and lithium needed to make electric vehicles, wind farms and solar panels. They worry that, even though the end goal will help decrease carbon emissions, a rush to develop the mines may skirt environmental protections put in place over the years. One of the latest battlegrounds is the Mining Regulatory and Clarity Act. Introduced by
