How Wyoming Will Become a Lithium Powerhouse

America needs 5X more lithium by 2035, but no new mines have opened since 1967. Meanwhile, current extraction methods are slow, waste tons of water, and emit loads of carbon.

So Vero3 devised a way to not only cleanly produce 9K tons of lithium, they'll generate 2.3B gallons of clean water and permanently store 3M tons of carbon in the process—all from the same 14,000-acre Wyoming site.

This first-of-its-kind project is already validated with $25M spent and projects $183M in annual revenue. It's the kind of zero-waste, vertically integrated model legacy operators can't match.

Even better? Shares are now open to the public ahead of commercial trials and a targeted 2028 Nasdaq IPO. But don't waste time. Become a Vero3 investor before this opportunity ends November 24.

"The Most Dangerous Experiment in History"

That's what the world's richest man says about the nearly 1.5 trillion tons of CO₂ put into the atmosphere since 1900, with 34 billion tons added each year.

No wonder he just gave out $100M to carbon capture startups. Now imagine if you could not only permanently remove it, but produce two additional high-value resources in the process?

That's what Vero3 built. Their breakthrough system traps CO₂ underground while producing clean water and battery-grade lithium. It's a zero-waste platform tackling $400B+ in combined markets at once.

Validated by $25M+ in spending and 18 years of R&D, their first commercial site is already permitted and ready to launch. And you can buy shares right now, ahead of a planned Nasdaq IPO in 2028.

Just don't wait. Invest in Vero3 before the opportunity ends on November 24.

A JetBlue flight made an emergency landing at Tampa International Airport on Thursday after experiencing a sudden altitude drop. More than 15 people were taken to the hospital, including at least one for a "laceration to the head."

The plane dropped about 100 feet in about seven seconds around 1:48 p.m. before making a more normal descent into Tampa, data from FlightRadar24 shows.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a possible "flight control issue," and JetBlue has grounded the plane.

The Airbus A320, which can carry up to 162 passengers, was heading from Cancun, Mexico, to Newark, New Jersey.

Article Icon 1 Lake County Bridge Collapse Prompts Evacuation

Nearly two dozen Eustis families were forced to leave their homes in Spring Ridge Estates on Thursday night after a bridge in their neighborhood partially collapsed into a ravine.

"We had about 15 minutes to grab everything that we owned, whatever we can carry and, you know, leave," resident Bob Hoffman said. "It's just kind of crazy. What do you grab? What do you do? Where do you go?"

The homes had to be evacuated after the only road for emergency services was cut off by the collapse, and water was turned off to the neighborhood. Residents are allowed to return on foot to access belongings.

The damage comes days after record rainfall, up to 19 inches in some areas, which flooded portions of Central Florida, especially in Lake and Brevard counties.

Article Icon 1 Debate over What's Considered South Florida

Florida is made up of several different regions, from the Panhandle to Central Florida, but the boundaries of one are hotly contested: What is considered South Florida?

The Treasure Coast—which includes Indian River County, St. Lucie County, and Martin County—is considered by many to mark the beginning of South Florida on the eastern coast of the state. Others consider Palm Beach County, which is further south on the same coast, to be the start of South Florida.

"South Florida is Palm Beach, Broward, and Dade counties. It's been that way forever," one person said on the social media site Reddit.
