I was doing the Piano/keyboard, but not towards the end, I was talking about the slope yet nice sounding like when I was in Greenberg Elementary back in the day in Mrs. Sharon Solomon's class or in the actual music class. I arranged the different sounds together. I do this to get through what I am feeling. IT come's in cycles, just the the cycles of my siblings. I am not too sure which one I am going to get or how they are feeling on that given day. 

Eh... So I take how my day went, then mix around sounds through feelings. It helps me. I Love my Siblings. I still keep on trying.

Lithium in America tells the not unfamiliar story of industry and government pushing forward huge energy projects with market driven exuberance despite local opposition and failure to consult with tribes. 

The film shines a light on these questionable practices as we interview leaders and members from 5 tribes with respect to 4 major projects in 3 states that are bellweathers of policy today, and which represent a common mindset and set of practices, however misguided.

According to Popular Mechanics Magazine, 

"This high concentration (of lithium) is found primarily at Thacker Pass in Nevada, and is already a controversial mining location. The area, also known as Peehee Mu'huh, is the homeland of many indigenous tribes and played an important role in its historical clash with U.S. soldiers. An indigenous organization dedicated to protecting the site even called potential mining operations a form of “green colonialism,” and is also engaged in stopping a mining site on the Oregon side of the caldera as well.

Apart from its cultural impact, any mining project in the area could also affect groundwater levels for local farmers and ranchers, not to mention its disruption to local fauna, such as pronghorn antelope, golden eagles, and sage grouse.

Right now, the McDermitt Caldera is a 40 million metric ton lithium conundrum with no clear answer."
