Comment on The lithium boom: could a disused quarry bring riches to Cornwall?
ns1@feddit.uk 2 days agoIf it creates some jobs then that’s good regardless, but of course you’re still right and I saw in the article the quote from the local MP was along the same lines:
“Mining is more capital intensive than it used to be, and not as labour intensive. Part of the challenge is sharing the prosperity”
Personally I really hope this takes off as it could be great for Cornwall. The big challenge will be whether it can compete with international markets if it gets to that point.
