The Oregon Chapter of the Sierra Club indicates they support cleaner energy but believe drilling must not come at the expense of fragile habitats.

Foreign lithium isn't magic, zero-footprint lithium. We are a major consumer of lithium, and will probably increase if we're going to move to BEVs. If we're going to consume it, it only seems fair to the rest of the world to have some of the footprint in our own territory.
