Department of Energy to build its lithium mine. The loan was part of the Biden administration’s push to expand domestic production of critical minerals used in electric vehicles and other clean energy technologies.

The Thacker Pass mine is expected to produce 60,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate annually, which would be enough to supply batteries for approximately 1 million electric vehicles per year. The project is also expected to create hundreds of jobs in the region and contribute to the growth of the clean energy sector in the United States.

Despite the financial backing and government support for the project, opposition from Indigenous groups and environmental activists continues to grow. The controversy surrounding the mine highlights the ongoing tensions between economic development, environmental protection, and Indigenous rights in the United States.

As construction of the mine moves forward, the debate over its impact on the environment, local communities, and Indigenous cultural sites is likely to intensify. The outcome of this conflict will have far-reaching implications for the future of lithium mining in the United States and the transition to a more sustainable and equitable energy system.

The Department of Energy is excited to announce its support for the Thacker Pass mine project. This project represents a significant opportunity for the United States to harness its mineral resources and promote economic growth. However, it is important to address the concerns raised by Abbey Koenning-Rutherford from the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights Watch regarding the impact of mining on Indigenous peoples.

We recognize the importance of respecting Indigenous peoples’ connections to the land, including Peehee Mu’huh, and we are committed to working with tribal nations to prevent any further harm at Thacker Pass. It is crucial that we engage in a dialogue with Indigenous communities to ensure that their voices are heard and their rights are protected.

At the same time, we understand the need to reform outdated mining laws, such as the 1872 U.S. mining law, to better balance the interests of industry and the environment. We are committed to working with stakeholders to develop policies that promote responsible mining practices and protect the rights of Indigenous peoples.

The Department of Energy believes that the Thacker Pass mine project has the potential to bring significant benefits to the United States, but we also recognize the importance of addressing the concerns raised by advocacy groups. We are committed to promoting sustainable development and ensuring that all stakeholders are included in the decision-making process.

We look forward to working with the mining industry, Indigenous communities, and advocacy groups to ensure that the Thacker Pass mine project is carried out in a responsible and sustainable manner. Together, we can harness the potential of our mineral resources while respecting the rights and traditions of Indigenous peoples.
