The road to Thacker Pass goes through the ranching community of Orovada, Nevada.
The town is a stopover as travelers head north on U.S. Highway 95 into Oregon. Jutting west is a county road along which charter buses full of mine workers from Winnemucca and trucks of molten sulfur will travel to extract lithium from ore.
Opposition to the lithium mine in Humboldt County is presented sometimes as an Indigenous issue only. But in this rancher’s paradise, one man has fought back because of conflicts with his water rights.
NOTE : This is the third part in a series about the Thacker Pass lithium mine in Humboldt County. Find the rest of the series at lvrj.com/thackerpass.
