From: Nevada Governor Joe LombardoCARSON CITY, NV – Earlier this week, Governor Joe Lombardo sent a letter to President Trump to advocate for the removal of tariffs on lithium. In his letter, Governor Lombardo outlines the importance of lithium manufacturing in Nevada and highlights the needs of the burgeoning lithium industry in the United States.
“The continued innovation and evolution of American manufacturing have opened the door to exciting new opportunities and products across various sectors, including energy. Nevada, home to North America's largest known lithium deposits, stands at the forefront of this transformation,” writes Governor Joe Lombardo. “Developing this vital resource will not only complement existing energy sources but also play a key role in advancing our shared goal of achieving U.S. energy independence. Nevada has already become a hub for energy technology and remains committed to attracting and driving continued growth in this space.”
