> On the other side of a freshly painted gate, Mayor Parnell Vann pointed out
> a squat blue spire of valves, bolts and pressure gauges attached to a
> long-dormant well-a telltale sign someone means to bring it back to life.
> On the thick-wooded back roads, crisscrossing fields where oil drillers
> gave up long ago, Vann found two more similar wells that day.
> 
> These days, companies in the area aren't looking to find more oil-they are
> instead prospecting for lithium, a metal that is increasingly prized around
> the world as an essential ingredient in electric-vehicle batteries.

> If the U.S. is to ease its dependence for lithium on other countries such
