But the administration's goal isn't to efficiently extract the lithium and use it effectively. The goal is to take a buried resource and auction off access to it to Trump's rich buddies. In the process, Trump will collect enormous bribes to put his greasy thumb on the scale. After the bribes are collected, no on in the administration cares what happens and the auction winners can rape the land any way they want regardless of the final profitability.
