Planned North Carolina lithium mine faces environmental pushback | AFP

But a planned lithium mine is bringing Lee sleepless nights. The 41-year-old's neighborhood is earmarked for a $1.2 billion project by Piedmont Lithium, to produce battery grade lithium going towards US electric vehicle (EV) supply chains. But environmental pushback against Piedmont's project and others in the country underscore how officials' efforts leave residents skeptical of long-term benefits.
