The 'white gold rush': Inside a lithium mine, where stores of recyclable energy lie | Nightline
Lithium powers many of our devices as well as electric vehicles. Western states are believed to hold an immense amount of the metal and some say it could help the U.S. reach its climate goals.

Big rush to flourecent lightning ,gov mandate. LED was already on the Grid. Lithium now, what is next WOW
The convention on Biological Diversity concluded that: “Every day, up to 150 species are lost.” That could be as much as 10 percent a decade, do you think miners care about that wild flower?
"Farming Lithium" HILARIOUS.
What nobody’s talking about or mentioning Is after all these cars are made by the lithium batteries at some point the batteries are no longer good, Where do the batteries go when they are no longer good ?How do we dispose of them Is there going to be stock piles In the desert with billions of batteries wasting away?
Don’t Step Here!!!!! Unleashed dog doing whatever…
pumping out water from an earthquake prone region doesn’t seem like a very good idea to me..
Thank you Patrick Donnelly ….. good gob
lithium batteries are a nightmare to dispose of I feel like we should wipe out 3/4 of the population of humans and and that will solve all the problems. I’m just saying 😉🤷♀️
Direct Lithium Extraction $SLI $LLKKF $eemmf is better for environment only takes 3 to 8 hours
global warming funny? Go back to the horse and buggy days. Learn to live off the land. All that blue water is toxic.
All it takes is 1 emp and all of usa is back to stone age lol
Lets Go Brandon.
Earth day??? Wtf
Exploits the reserves in other countries first like oil and then when they ran out you know the rest.
FJB!
I stopped listening once they showed Biden speak nonsense and nothing specific or even explaining anything and only political gibberish. One they started talking climate crap I realized this video can’t be trusted and is likely propaganda.
Lithium mining is becoming a big issue in Europe now and not everyone is happy about that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsBwMEQGNiw&t=31s
You need Cobalt and Nickel also to make a Lithium battery 😀 Poison worst than Oil 😀
got ya George !
Why not actually show a lithium mine instead of these stock photos
I dont like how the Lithium miner at the pools danced around the question about the effect the mine has on the surroundings. He said essentially, this water was deep underground doing nothing, but we are taking it, exposing it and evaporating it away to obtain a useful resource; which had nothing to do with how the process could be leaching salts or other compounds into the environment
The irony is disgusting when you consider how many people think they are being green, while supporting mining and destroying the environment with enormous lithium plants, slaves in the Congo digging their cobalt dead battery chemical leeching, etc.
It’s not green, it’s evil.
Your huge batteries are horrible. They go bad after a decade, and then have to undergo an insane amount of effort to recycle, and then what?
Nothing is free, batteries have a huge cost.
Look into lithium mining in these other countries. What a joke. Shame on this media outlet
If you have to mine it, it’s not renewable.
It’s too bad Biden is clueless…
A tiny wild flower and a couple of nesting plovers and the US Lithium and Space industry grinds to a halt. Then studies are undertaken, forms are filled out, multiple levels of government permissions are sought, but still one person is not happy and permits stay frozen for the next 15 years. It’s possible to do ESG mining without destroying the environment, but in terms of legislation efficiency US resembles the Soviet Union in the 1970s in many ways and no wonder most US mining companies go to South America or China or elsewhere in the world to work.
For 25 years US sat on the lithium storage in Afghanistan, without harvesting it. Now it gave up to China. Fool
Dude hung up on a stupid little flower? Really? Message to that idiot is “you are the problem”. We need less of his kind
Serbia lithium rich
Why should our inefficiencies destroy us? What kind of business models are we doing? Reduce, Reuse, Rethink, Restore.
It is not “recyclable energy.” It is a mineral. And what it will do is not the path to salvation that its proponents tout.
Why isn’t anyone mentioning the largest known reserve of lithium in the world is in Afghanistan?
Thank you Patrick Donnelly good gob …
The way she walks on that dirt road, OMG, she is so sexy, like a fashion model. BANGING !Î!!
Wonder why you get sick holes
Bye bye Buckwheat!
is it a good idea to lithium farm the entire west coast
You can’t produce it enough without an intermediate step like natural gas.
Sorry dreams it ain’t happening
Strip mining that’s your fix for climate change. 🤣🤣🤣.
California drought???? They stole the water 💦
Oh and china dose next to nothing but emit massive amounts of gases and toxic waist all over the land . Yet no one say Jack abought there green house effect
Stop voting for demokrats they distroing our country
We only have one mine because it is some toxic garbage to mine. Let’s go Brandon!
Let’s not pretend this is a good thing. Take a good hard look at the places that have been doing this for years. I did
Ohh please, please protect that wildflower. 🙄
I need to buy stocks in lithium
Biden: Jobs… Hahahaaaaa, how’s that working out for ya?
By dissolving fossil fuels, you’re losing so many jobs…. He kinda made that evident early on.
What a moron
Tell you what. you can have the weeds in my yard for your buckwheat. Trade?
Go nuclear. Give the nuclear waste to one of the commercial space companies and lob it into space.
What a joke!!! "The Caribbean" more like Gary Indiana… or superfund site
