New "Mined in America" Lithium Opportunities?

Graphite (not lithium) is expected to see the largest increase in demand of all battery metals over the next decade. But projections warn of an 8 million ton shortfall of graphite by 2040. That's why 97 more graphite mines are needed just to keep up with battery production for the $7 trillion transition to electric vehicles.
