There's more lithium in Nevada alone than all the projected world needs for the next 20 years. We even have a town named for the ore sitting on a mountain supposedly full of it. Byproduct of being a great salt ocean that dried up but it may be lower grade than the easy to extract stuff up in the north desert.

What there is not: a refining capacity to take that ore and make batteries. We sold our souls to the chinese for cheap 3rd world processing and eco whiners in Cali won't allow new smelter operations to start, not that I disagree with their concerns of post processing pollution.
