Two recent executive orders, one by the Trump administration in September 2020, and now one by the Biden administration today, February 24, 2021, will cause a massive increase in mining in the United States in the years to come unless we can stop them.
These executive orders require assessment and recommendations for supply chains of critical metals and materials, including lithium, rare earth metals, and other materials, with an emphasis on building domestic supply for these materials.
Today’s EO references electric vehicle batteries specifically. The EO requires “specific policy recommendations for ensuring a resilient supply chain for the sector” and “developing domestic supplies”.
We need to let this administration know that expanding mining to build technologies that we do not need for life, including more cars and batteries, is unacceptable.
We can do this by putting up a hell of a fight at Thacker Pass. We can send a message to the administration that dramatically increasing mining and the environmental destruction that comes with it will be difficult if not impossible because of the resistance we will mount.
Please join us at Thacker Pass or online or in the media or via donation to help us send this very important message to the administration: YOU SHALL NOT PASS! You shall NOT blow up this mountain for EV batteries. You shall NOT blow up any other mountain or desert or forest for metals and minerals and materials we do not need to live on this beautiful planet. It is NOT worth the sacrifice we and the other beings on Earth will have to make in habitat, clean air, clean water, clean soil.
Join us. Help stop this NOW.
Thank you.

“The source of wealth is the functional ecosystems. The products and services that we derive from those are derivatives. It’s impossible for the derivative’s to be more valuable than the source. And yet in our economy now as it stands the products and services have monetary values. But the source, the functional ecosystems are zero. So this can not be true, it’s false. So we have created a global economic institution and economic theory based on a flaw in logic. If we carry the flaw from generation to generation we compound that mistake.
Wealth is being happy, living in nature, listening to birds, breathing clean air. Not having chemical pollution, not having these horrible problems. We need to redefine and revalue belief systems. We need to understand that money is a belief system. There is nothing wrong with money, it turns out. The problem is what is money based on. If money is based on functional ecosystems, Then the future will be beautiful. If money continues to be based on the production and consumption of goods and services, we will turn everything into a desert. What is the future for our children and our children’s children and generations to come in the future?” – John D. Liu
