Buckwheat or batteries!

 There's a type of flower growing in central Nevada called Tiehm's buckwheat..., and it doesn't grow anywhere else on the planet!

Underneath all this Tiehm's buckwheat is a whole lot of lithium that's necessary for the production of batteries for electric cars!

Now the problem is..., who is going to win the race for electric vehicles..., the buckwheat crowd or the lithium people?

Now you have to remember that the buckwheat doesn't do anything..., and isn't good for anything either..., but environmentalists and conservationists are going to stop the lithium mining so we don't disturb the buckwheat!

Of course, this will piss off a different set of environmentalists and conservationists since everyone will have to keep using those smelly old gasoline cars to get around instead of clean and friendly electric cars! 

I think we should have a duel at dawn with pistols to let the buckwheat environmentalists have it out with the anti-oil environmentalist..., and whoever is left standing is the way we'll go..., whether it's by gas or electricity!

The way I see it anyway!
