1115 ET - A potential U.S. government stake in Lithium Americas would a clear indication that the critical material is key to the future. Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities tells the WSJ it would be "a shot across the bow" and mean "the U.S. government is planting a flag on the lithium supply front." Lithium Americas nearly doubles following a Reuters report that the U.S. government is negotiating to take up to a 10% stake in the Canadian miner. Ives says it would be "an aggressive and smart move in our view in this arms race for energy." (adriano.marchese@wsj.com)
