Locke Bell, 73, poses for a photo on his land bordering the Piedmont Lithium property line on April 21, 2024 in Bessemer City, North Carolina. When Kristal Lee and her husband bought a house in Gaston County, North Carolina two years ago, they envisioned a "forever home". But a lithium mine project by Piedmont Lithium is bringing Lee sleepless nights. Nearby is an area earmarked for a $1.2 billion project to produce battery grade lithium for US electric vehicle (EV) supply chains -- one of only a few such sites in the country. With President Joe Biden working to build domestic EV and battery industries, companies are seeking supplies in the United States -- which has major lithium deposits in Nevada, North Carolina and California. Biden's aims include furthering the energy transition and lowering dependence on China, which supplies the bulk of global lithium-ion battery exports. (Photo by Allison Joyce / AFP)
