CEO of Piedmont Lithium which happens to be one of the biggest lithium mining companies in the world and as you just saw the man keeps preaching to every news outlet that we need more lithium to make more batteries.
“Our hope is that we’ll be in production in NC in 2026, and will be fully permitted and approved and funded sometime in 2024.”
And it’s a wild claim considering the company was facing a lot of resistance from local residents who were not okay with this mining operation because
“Piedmont’s plans call for four open-pit mines 500 feet deep. That means demolishing houses, digging up farm fields and woods, and disrupting streams. Some neighbors have sold their land to the company. But others whose property borders the site aren’t happy”.
But despite all this resistance, those communities are now left helpless because of what happened in the last week. Is it a co incidence that all of this happening in 2024 the exact year he predicted? Not likely. And with entire towns underwater, it’s now hunting season for land-grabbing sharks who will not only get the disputed land but will also save a ton of money because it will be devalued substantially.
And lithium miners aren’t the only one’s trying to grab as much land as possible in North Carolina and its neighboring states. Due to the presence of the raw material many electric companies are now making giant batteries in the area.
And one such company is Duke Energy which has a 9 Megawatt battery in Asheville, North Carolina and yeah this is the same town which has been cut off from the rest of the world due to the flooding.
While this battery seems impressive, Duke Energy is planning on investing further 600 million dollars to create more such batteries in North Carolina and 5 other States. so you can bet they’re gonna need a lot of land and a constant supply of lithium from the area.
As long as they can eventually get their hands on that white gold they clearly won’t mind getting those same hands dirty in the process.
Now another very interesting video comes from a tik tok user who explains how this current event is related to some other natural disasters including the derailment in East Palestine.
She’s not wrong about people selling homes cheap in East Palestine Ohio because even after a chemical cleanup it’s obvious that no one would want to live in such an area.
That’s exactly why 99 percent of properties in the area have been sold since the disaster and only 44 percent of them got over the appraisal price which means most people got screwed.
And while hurricane Helene has certainly created a humanitarian disaster, it has also raised red flags for all of the tech world.
You see hidden inside the mountains of Western North Carolina, there’s a town which produces the very heart of the tech world.
And more importantly we also know that the mine is no longer operational as you can see from this Forbes articles which states
“Operations at a quartz mine in western North Carolina have been shut down for more than five days after Hurricane Helene dumped 2 feet of rain on the town of Spruce Pine, washing out roads and cutting power to an area with an industry critical to semiconductor manufacturing across the world.”
So yeah for now at least things are looking dire for the tech industry. And let me be clear when I say tech i don’t just mean your phones and laptops. These chips are used in medical equipment, vehicles, planes, pretty much all kinds of manufacturing units and anything else that has some kind of a computer inside it. We already had a shortage after covid but things will get much rougher if the mine does not become operational for multiple weeks.
Now since the government and the multi billion dollar companies have their own greedy interests in saving the supply of high purity quartz i do believe they will try to restore the mine and the town of Spruce Pine which basically houses all the workers who work in this mine.
The rest of North Carolina might not be so lucky because if we are to believe thousands and thousands of posts from local citizens, it looks like no one is there to help them. And according to this lady, things have become so desperate in the mountains of North Carolina that people are now resorting to looting in order to get food for their kids.
And this is what makes my blood boil. At the end of the day, whatever these shady corporations are doing are destroying lives of normal people like you and me. People who were living in these small communities for peace and quiet but now they have lost their homes, their livelihoods and even their loved ones.
