    Sounds like somebody's impound yard director needs to be fired for leaving city money on the table.

    The lithium mine they are investing in has been opposed by conservation groups, and there is litigation hanging over it that needs to be cleared before it will ever be able to begin production.

    I believe the U.S. is rich in lithium reserves, but the conservation concerns (what it will take to get to the lithium) have been a big part of why there are no operational lithium mines here.

    Every one of our technologies comes at a cost. But we often don't know what that cost will be. Very hard to figure out what to do.

    Revealed: how world’s biggest fossil fuel firms ‘profited in Myanmar after coup’

    Among the findings, the leaked tax documents show that:

    • US oil services giant Halliburton’s Singapore-based subsidiary Myanmar Energy Services reported pre-tax profits of $6.3m in Myanmar in the year to September 2021, which includes eight months while the junta was in power.
    • Houston-headquartered oil services company Baker Hughes branch in Yangon reported pre-tax profits of $2.64m in the country in the six months to March 2022.
    • US firm Diamond Offshore Drilling reported $37m in fees to the Myanmar tax authority during the year to September 2021 and another $24.2m from then until March 2022.
    • Schlumberger Logelco (Yangon Branch), the Panama-based subsidiary of the US-listed world’s largest offshore drilling company, earned revenues of $51.7m in the year to September 2021 in Myanmar and as late as September 2022 was owed $200,000 in service fees from the junta’s energy ministry.

    Actually, six of the seven states have come to an agreement. Not surprisingly, California is not on board.

    Are they holding out for that sweet, sweet almond water that wastes millions of gallons per year?

    Logic would seem to me that California will do with the river what the states upstream decide!

    It has senior water rights.

    Nevada, Utah, and Colorado have gravity!

    In all seriousness, what's California going to do if upstream states won't play their game, sue in federal court? If so, then you'll get the federal unilateral cuts.
