- Magnolia and adjoining towns could become the epicenter producer of lithium, which is needed for electric car batteries. Old oil wells from a century ago are being envisioned as places to extract the metal. U.S. Rep. Bruce Westerman speaks on this new industry for the state.
Then, two new laws went into effect earlier this month, one allowing 14 and 15-year-olds to work without a permit. Guests: Cara Butler, Law Associate with Mitchell Williams Law Firm, and Keesa Smith, Exec. Director of Arkansas Advocates for Children & Families.

How did North Dakota handle their population boon?
Don’t get your hopes up too high.
3 separate large companies in China are producing Sodium batteries. They’ll be much cheaper than lithium. Lithium might be the loser in this race.
sodium is not very good at retaining energy currently around 30% retention compared to Iithum also much larger than lithium. Don't kid yourself
sodium batteries are about 2x larger and heavier, and doesn't retain no where near the amount of energy
I work in Southern California in the solar industry, trust me this is huge for the country but especially my home state of arkansas
@@zachariahmccoy I don’t remember the stats on Sodium batteries. I do remember they’re not affected by extreme cold like lithium is. Several large sodium battery factories or being built in other countries too. Lithium ore prices dropped recently from $84,500 dollars per metric ton to $18,600 dollars per metric ton. That’s probably going to stop all production mines. Sodium is plentiful, cheap, and environmentally friendly to mine and to recycle. Time will weed out the winners and losers.
