No money for North Carolina... hmm... interesting

North Carolina has significant lithium resources. In fact, the state has one of the largest known lithium deposits in the United States, particularly in the Piedmont region. North Carolina was a major producer of lithium. The area around Gaston County, southwest of Charlotte, is rich in spodumene, a lithium-bearing mineral.

As demand for lithium has surged due to its use in batteries, especially for electric vehicles (EVs), there has been renewed interest in mining these resources in North Carolina. Several companies are exploring and planning to develop lithium extraction projects in the state to tap into this growing market.
