What to Know: Environmental groups are trying to block mining of the minerals we need to power the green energy future they demand.
The TPPF Take: Renewable energy requires an immense amount of “critical minerals.” They’ve got to come from somewhere.
“The current shortage of critical minerals stems in part from a decades-long push from activist organizations to limit mining activity in the United States, and the Endangered Species Act has long been a favorite cudgel of these groups because of its sweeping powers,” says TPPF’s Brent Bennett. “A classic example is a lawsuit from the Center for Biological Diversity challenging an Ioneer Corp. open-pit lithium and boron mine in Nevada over the impact it was having on a wildflower.”
