One of the objections is water use related to use of sulfuric acid in extracting the lithium. If those deposits are as rich as I suspect they are, then the ore could be shipped to a location without a water problem. In the 1800s ranchers loved railroads. Also, sulfur is butt cheap and for the truly enterprising environmentalist, can be used as an energy source as well as a raw material (just different ends of the same processing stream).
