  • Oh fuck third same ad in a row ! -.-

  • The state of Nevada has the world's second largest deposit of lithium.The sources of power and fuel will make giant changes in the near future.

  • It also powers Blackberries (zooms in on the iPhone) and laptops.

    Priceless XD

  • The answer is: NO. While multinational companies (american, british, etc..) get rich stealing chilean minerals like lithium, copper and gold, the nation's still under the line of poverty. Sure, Chile is far from poor countries and we often hear turists say "hey, this is an european country", but it's only what you see on the surface. Like every Latin American country, the local elite (with european origins lasting from colonial times) get all the revenues, while the rest of the country starves.

  • Wonder if the Chilean ppl benefit from all this lithium that's getting recovered from their dessert?
