Yeah I mean ideally we would do both. More nuclear power plants means less of a strain on supply for battery materials.What about Uranium?
And if the Environmentalists will let him.
Finally!!!! Long term planning.
"President Joe Biden issued a directive on Thursday that invokes the Defense Production Act -- a move the administration hopes will kickstart the domestic production and mining of the critical minerals needed to manufacture batteries for electric vehicles and long-term energy storage.
The directive adds critical minerals -- things like lithium, nickel, graphite, cobalt and manganese -- to the list of items covered by the 1950 Defense Production Act, a Korean War-era law that allows the president to use emergency authority to make large orders of a certain type of product or expand productive capacity and supply.
The longterm goal, according to White House officials, is to move the country toward renewable energy and electric vehicles. The less the country depends on fossil fuels and gas-powered cars, the less prone consumers are to wild swings in oil prices amid geopolitical conflict.
"This is a long-term shift," Nikos Tsafos, an energy security expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told CNN. "If you're looking for relief at the pump or any immediate shift in prices, this is not the thing that does that. This is about thinking about 2030. It's about putting the United States in a strong position in the world to not be exposed to the kind of risks that we are witnessing today with the high prices that come from geopolitical tension one-third of the way around the world."

Are we experiencing a uranium shortage?What about Uranium?

Sounds like we have plenty available.‘Ready to fight’: how a Russian uranium ban would threaten Native American tribes
From The Guardian ‘Ready to fight’: how a Russian uranium ban would threaten Native American tribes Sacred Native American sites such as the Grand Canyon and Bears Ears may seem a long way from the devastation unfolding in Ukraine.

Only if the tree huggers don't get in the way.Sounds like we have plenty available.
I'm not worried about it.Only if the tree huggers don't get in the way.
What states have those deposits?Finally!!!! Long term planning.

The article mentioned Nevada and North Carolina.What states have those deposits?
plus, China (with their government) can just order it. we can't.The article mentioned Nevada and North Carolina.
Unless they also fast track permitting and environmental impact studies this is really much ado about nothing. Wanting to ramp up production and actually taking the steps to ramp up production are not the same thing.
Your right China can kick 100k people off their land and start mining operations all within months of the decision. In the US an itchy pine tree fungus will delay operations for years or shut down mining completely.plus, China (with their government) can just order it. we can't.
fungus??Your right China can kick 100k people off their land and start mining operations all within months of the decision. In the US an itchy pine tree fungus will delay operations for years or shut down mining completely.
