In Nevada's Thacker Pass, Indigenous tribes are battling powerful entities over a massive lithium mine by Lithium Americas. Backed by the Biden administration and General Motors, this project, vital for electric vehicles, exposes the dark side of the "green energy" transition, prioritizing profit over sacred land and local communities.
