Did you know #mining for #lithium is often referred to as mining for "white gold"? #batteries

In Bolivia, White Gold is something COMPLETELY different. ❄️❄️❄️❄️

How did this video begin in Bolivia, then become Chile halfway through 😂

Now how much diesel was used to mine all that “white gold” ???

There is a big deposit of Lithium in Salton Seas, California. Unfortunately, due to its high prices some companies are using sodium (salt) ion for their rechargeable batteries.

There'll be no bipolar people there in that mine

They should call it "Mining Lithium" instead of "Mining White Gold", because it would be a lot more accurate.

Im so glad this process is environmentally friendly and green.

1,000 gallons for one entire EV cell is actually pretty good. Thats a little under one pound per gallon.

And THIS is why in 2023 humans started creating Sodium batteries. Its suppose to be 5x better than Lithium. Not to mention that Sodium-Ion Batteries will cost 30% less to produce, because the planet has an enormous abundance of Sodium-Ion that mining it continuously for 1,000 years will only create a 1% dent in the resource supply. And MOST IMPORTANTLY, it does not require Brine. Great for the environment. And also it can be currently used in the current factories as Lithium. It just won't need 40% of the process specially No Brine needed.

Lithium is also used as a mood stabilizer.

It's like vaping. Changing from one problem to a different one.

The Usa. can process it "instantly" , with something like a sponge filter... Where sitting on over 350 million car / truck. Batteries.... It's a crystal clear liquid and we can turn it to a solid for transport...

Lithium is the 3rd most abundant element in the universe. We need cobalt nickel, iridium, Gallium, arsenic, and other semi/trans metals. Those are the nasty hard to mine ones. Lithium is everywhere and easy

Electric car batteries are massive compared to other batteries. You could probably make a few thousand phone batteries with 1 electric car battery. Edit: A lithium electric car battery has 8 kilograms of lithium in it. The average 2000 mPh phone battery has 2/3 grams of lithium in it depending who makes it. 8 kilograms (8000 grams) divided by 2/3 grams is 4000/2666 potential phone batteries......and now you know because it ain't 300 buddy.

1,000 gallons will not make a car battery . Not even one cell of a battery .

Sounds very eco friendly

It needs to be a series of global case studies

“White Gold” sounds a LOT like something else…………….

Can't wait for sodium batteries to become mainstream!
