A report by Greg Reese details the history of U.S. government weather modification projects, including Project Cirrus in 1947 and Project Stormfury in 1965. The report connects the recent flooding in North Carolina to the Albemarle Corporation and Piedmont Lithium's interests in the Kings Mountain region, which contains one of the world's largest lithium deposits. Reese suggests that the federal government is more interested in mineral extraction than the welfare of the local population.

A special report by Greg Reese examines the connection between the flooding in North Carolina and the region's vast lithium resources. The Department of Defense recently entered a $90 million agreement with Albemarle Corporation to increase domestic lithium production in Kings Mountain. Residents suggest the disaster may be used as a pretext for federal land seizures to facilitate mining operations for the battery supply chain.
