#ThackerPass is significant for several reasons.
Once operational, the Thacker Pass mine would become one of the largest lithium operations on #TurtleIsland, potentially providing up to 25 percent of worldwide demand for a mineral expected to power the global transition to cleaner energy. But the mine’s approval was fast-tracked over the protest of nearby #IndigenousCommunities.

When the #State allows #OrganisedCrime to take over the #Rainforest
'Loggers, Miners and Corruption in a #Lawless Amazon'. “We will have criminal insurgents … [whose] ideology is money...The mafia goes wherever there’s money. It doesn’t care if it’s environmental crime, people smuggling, cocaine. And what they see there [in the Amazon] is gold and wood that’s being sold for a very high price. It’s obvious that it wouldn’t take them long to get involved in this.”

#IndigenousCommunities are so heavily involved in #CleanEnergy that they now own, co-own, or have a defined #FinancialBenefit #agreement in place for almost 20% of #Canada 's #electricity generating #infrastructure .
"They're the largest 'asset owners, outside of utilities," Henderson said. " #Indigenous communities across the country right now are, quite literally, the largest #ChangeAgents for clean energy."
