Why must we continue to afflict our future generations with the ongoing problem of figuring out how to maintain their society and economy without their precious energy sources? This just does not make sense to me. Petroleum reserves are, and have been, on a steep downward slope. So now we think that our problems are just going to go away. Yippie, we found an alternative energy source that will be tapped out within an even shorter amount of time than oil. I do not understand why the world leaders cannot think in future terms. Can somebody please explain this to me? Why do we, around the world, keep investing so much in non-renewable resources?

However, the potential for Uyuni has been greatly overstated given the state of knowledge we have of the resource. Lithium mining is difficult and the processing in the case of Uyuni will be tricky. Further deep drilling exploration is required before we actually can determine its true potential to actually produce lithium carbonate for batteries. At this time our estimate of the lithium resource has a very wide range – true it could be large (it even may be the world’s largest resource) but it also could turn out to be only a minor source of lithium!

Let's see if he lets Bolivia use this income from Lithium productoin to rebuild that country just like Chavez has helped rebuild Venezuela through oil revenues to provide education and healthcare to the masses.
