SIGNIFICANT OREGON DISCOVERY PROMISES MORE COST-EFFECTIVE ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Matt Case - September 12th 

In a potentially groundbreaking discovery near the Nevada-Oregon border, geologists have identified what might be the world's largest lithium deposit. Located within a volcanic caldera, estimates suggest there could be up to 40 million metric tons of the crucial metal.
