How Australia and Chile Are Secretly Trying To Control The World And Take Down China

- This is the Island of Uto in Sweden. To many, this island may seem just like any other island. Its filled with a lot of normal plant life, a few docks for people to visit, and even a few tourists pop up here or there. There should be nothing special about this island. But as it turns out, this island may be responsible for a lot of our modern world, and the future global superpowers in the coming decades…
You see, Our technology, our economy, and even our culture, may have originated on this exact island in the year 1800.
And What happened on this island over 220 years ago, might dictate the next great technological superpowers, our future economy, and what happens to humanity as a whole in the coming decades.
Jose Bonifacia de Andrada was a Geology Professor at the university of Coimbra in the year 1800. But in his spare time, he traveled around europe studying rocks (they’re minerals, Marie).
One day on his travels, he stumbled upon an island with a small iron mine that was operating nearby.
So, he ventured into the mine, and found a very strange mineral.
It was somewhat clear with a yellow and whitish tint. It was also fairly brittle and didn’t seem like it would hold any special properties.
So, that rock, which he called petalite, got put away in a swedish labratory, where it was not touched for another 17 years.
That was until swedish Chemist Jons Jacob Berzelius and his student Johan August Arfwedson, decided to analyze the mineral.
And what they found was an element that the world had never seen before. It was an element that behaved very similar to potassium and sodium, however, this element was much less soluble in water and seemed to be more solid than them as well.
And so, they named this new element Lithium, which is derived from the greek word ‘Lithos’, meaning, Stone.
Now, when there is a new discovery in a field like chemistry or physics, it usually takes many years before we find a practical application for it.
And if you have studied history at all. You probably know that there is one thing that drives technological innovation more than any other factor.
The thing that drives science and technology forward faster than any other thing, is not education, its not freedom, its not the economy, its not a government policy, its not even a scientific research fund.
The one thing that creates innovation the fastest throughout the history of humankind. Is war.
If you want to innovate faster than at anytime in human history. Then go to war.
You see, up until the 1940s, lithium didn’t really have a purpose. There were a few lithium mines that were active in the world. And lithium was only used for basic materials like ceramic bowls, and for the treatment of mania in a few small areas in europe
But when WW2 came along, it started being mass produced because it was a vital part of greasing the engines of fighters and bombers.
But it wasn’t until after WW2 ended, and a new colder war began, that lithium would begin to become a massive part of humankinds history.
That’s because this little element would play a vital role in developing humanities most infamous invention.
As it turns out, when you apply quite a lot of heat and bombard lithium with subatomic particles called neutrons, you get this…
A thermonuclear weapon. The most destructive thing that humanity has ever created, was created, because of that little rock that was discovered in Uto, Sweden, just 150 years beforehand.
And what soon followed was a nuclear arms race between the soviet union and the united states.
Over the course of the next 3 decades, the demand for thermonuclear bombs skyrocketed, and so did the demand for lithium.
The soviet union and the united states would go on to create 70,000 nuclear weapons during the cold war, and detonate 1,747 of them to see their effects on our planet earth.
And because of this nuclear armament, Lithium began being mined all around the world. The united states became the largest producer of lithium up until the 1990s when the united states began to disarm its nuclear arsenal.
And so, the 2000s came along. And the demand for lithium completely dried up. The industry was dead. but then this happened (maybe show clip of steve jobs iphone speech)
In 2007, the iphone was released. You see, as it turns Lithium was a very special element because it was extremely good at one thing.

Im in Australia, you are generally correct in your assessment but you briefly mentioned one big problem. Most of the batteries are produced in China. The Chinese could turn off their battery manufacturing and stuff the world. We should e making those batteries in Australia. Also if you ever do video on renewables energy have a look at Australia, especially South Australia. That state,population 1,7M, is well on its way to 100% renewables. 66% RE last week. and it's solar and wind not hydro.
We don't do that kind of manufacturing in Australia because of the environmental consequences.
But we are an incredibly smart population and I'm sure that we could find a way.
In Queensland,,, hydrogen seems to be the future for us🙀
@@chrisspulis1599 You have attempted over the last two decades to import a smart population and in doing so priced Australia out of the global market that you can't give the citizens of the country the benefit of your natural resources, Australia is so expensive and over regulated that you can only export the base resource to another country for it to be turned into something useful. If Australia was smart it would debase its currency and de-regulate so that it could manufacture the natural resources it has... are you smart enough to do that?
that’s awesome to hear :) I was worried AU was heading in the opposite direction
Massive battery manufacturing is being set up in alternate countries, if China wants to use battery manufacturing as an economic lever it had better do it soon.
But yes Australia should be at least doing far more value adding, at least refine the minerals before exporting.
What a great country is Chile

Your pronunciation of Chile was fine. When the Chilean mine disaster occurred a few years ago, the President of Chile himself used that pronunciation as the English name for his country multiple times in his speeches. He spoke in English, and used the traditional English pronunciation.
Respect to him.
@@Bouzoukiellas he was a terrible president though
You mean the disaster that happened in 2010 ?
@@nicocontreras5366 Yes. President Piñera gave multiple press briefings in English at the mine site during the operation, and he pronounced the country's name "chilly" (and the people "chillyan") every time.
I only noticed at the time because "authentic" pretentiousness among certain English speakers is one of my most irritating bugbears for decades. They pat themselves on the back and sneer at others, but would never attempt to pronounce "Rossiya" as the Russians do, or "Zhonguo" as the Chinese do, or "Bharat" as the Indians do, let alone "Mehico".
So when I cheered at the footage of the rescue, It wasn't just because of the lives saved 🙂
@@Bouzoukiellas He was a terrible president, he basically defrauded a bank and scammed a partner to get rich before he became president, he escaped justice for almost 2 months and finally got away with it because his brother asked the justice minister for a favor, plus no one wants and during his government the country entered a social crisis from which it has not yet recovered
as a citizen of australia I hope that my nation refuses to sell coal to China. We have found fresh markets for most of our coal, so we don't really need China as much as many would have thought.

@Elijah Brown Yeah mate I know that.... *Coal isn't that much of a Rare thing* ......
We Aussies are not trying to control the world mate, we just want peace and prosperity. And cold beer, good mates and another Mad Max movie every decade.
Australia and Chile don't control anything. Australia in particular has given up all sovereign control of its resources. Private companies are the ones profiting from extracts, not the inhabitants.
Same in Chile, we are an export oriented economy. There is hardly any investment in technology or investigation, therefore there isn't a local industry to make real use of any of those resources. We have some of the biggest copper deposits in the world, sell most of it to China and then we buy copper screws and wires made in China.
Venezuela and Cuba have sovereignty over their resources, Venezuelans literally live on oil but do not have gas to consume, Cubans have a shortage of products including sugar which is one of their largest industries, protectionism, nationalism have never worked in a efficient way
Yes and guess who owns those private companys.....china does.
Nationalizing something is useless if you don't have a way to extract it and even if you have it, the income is left to the state, its politicians and associates.
The benefit for the people is the employment generated and, to a lesser extent, the taxes for which I repeat politicians.
Al menos el privado contrata gente y esa misma gente necesita servicios por lo que surgen otros negocios, si la cosa es estatal termina siendo un peso muerto.
El cobre es estatal y hay años donde dan saldo negativo por culpa de las malas practicas y sindicatos ¿Quién cubre esas perdidas? el resto del pais.
This is BS. Australia uses its sovereign control to sell the right to mine and charge royalties.

The economy seemed to improve drastically & they didn't look like people were struggling as much as they Dina few years earlier & all my family members there all had better jobs & were getting better educations,
Which surprised me,
& this was between 2000 & 2007.
Excellent that it "trickles" through the economy rewarding the general populace.
Viva Chile
Lithium is privately owned in Chile, 80% of the population survive with credit cards, on every day basic items because no income test is required for a credit cards, the economy didnt improve, minimum wage is only 500 dollars a month, many families strugle with their bills every month...The magic card is their survival..

Am studying chemical engineering in australia currently and lithium is one of those ores that's very difficult to refine safely without causing environmental damage or risk to staff
I worry that the demand for lithium may cause some to forgo safety and environmental cornern...which generally doesn't end well
100% agree. When he said China is investing heavily in Africa I felt bad for those people. Yes they will get some infrastructure but you just know they will be taken advantage of. I don't know if they have "Zero Harm" policies like we do here in Australia.
I doubt anything is going to change, we dig up and sell dirt for other countries to value add, it's the Australian way, we're dirt farmers.
Well if you're studying chemical engineering, you'll soon find out companies have never given a damn about the environment. If they can do bare minimum, they will.

Utö is a pretty well-visited island by people who sail in summer in the Stockholm Archipelago. Its basically the edge of what we call the inner archipelago vs the outer archipelago.
One side of Utö pretty much faces what looks like open sea while the other faces the inner archipelago (tons of islands close together).
As such all I think about when I think Utö is cold. The outer archipelago is far windier and as a result colder than the inner archipelago. Its fun to go there if you wanna sail fast or see some seals though. had absolutely no idea utö is where lithium was discovered. fun to know.
I allways knew chile was going to be the anime villian of the future
it's simply the nature this world's lore, can't escape it
Three things I get out of these videos; 1. How the smallest and simplest of creatures, things, or political acts can affect everyone on the planet. 2. How much are all the nations dependent on each other for prosperity and survival. 3. How war seems to be the one major factor that holds back mankind from reaching full maturity. It is as if we are inherently suicidal. One can only wonder and imagine that at one time there may have been spread out throughout the universe multitude of civilizations all following the same path of self-annihilation which may explain why we haven't made contact or explaining why we seem to be alone in the universe. Have they chosen annihilation? Are we the last civilization?
In Chile the rights on lithium were already sold as well):
Only 6%
I think it wasn't even 6%, could be wrong though
With inflation at its highest level in four decades, recession is now "the most likely outcome for the economy". People wonder how to grow their portfolios to beat inflation and maintain a successful long-term strategy. I looked for investors who were making around $250,000 in this troubled market. This is one more reason why you should save and invest to secure your income and ensure your success.

Australia has tonnes of Zinc also.. only thing Australia doesn't have on mass is oil and water..
It's actually got a fair bit of oil, 38th in the world actually. Plenty of water too, except it's either all salty or made in Fosters!
China however is predicted to go into decline this year (or if not in the next couple of years) so the deflation will kick in perhaps before the market has even had chance to bottom out.
By the way South Korea is also in a state of population decline so their economy probably won't be able to pick up the slack. The others aren't really that far off either. The only one with the potential (at least for now) is India.
You'll make a lot of money in the long term if you stay invested and ignore the market's ups and downs; but, a major market correction triggers a lot of margin calls and sell-offs, sending the market further lower. In a bull market, people become greedy, and it's nearly impossible to resist the urge to buy additional stocks with borrowed money or money they don't have.>

Coal mining is extremely hard work. I feel for at the people who've worked in coal mining, most people don't understand how tough it is.
Must be tough sitting in a dredger
In Australia it's not all hard work. Where the pain is, is doing shift work. Working 12-13hr shifts, rotating days and nights, working weekends and public holidays. Maintenance is hard work, though, Working in grease, in the rain, in hot engine bays etc. When the machine you are repairing is making 50k an hour, their is a little pressure to know your stuff!! Maintenance are always undercompensated in mining because their are more operators then Maintenance and they hold the greatest share of voting power!!
In developed nations with a sophisticated mining sector it's a mechanised process.
Yeah must suck being able to get 12k plus a month with no real skill or intellectual capacity. Miners are the maddest cunts you'll meet, always up for a good time because they work 75hrs or so week so if they have free time they go harddddd. Definitely not someone to feel bad for.

The big battery is generally used for grid stability rather than bulk energy storage. It is capable of absorbing some of the peaks and troughs in power supply, but only on a short time scale. At the moment the vast majority of dispatchable peaking supply is made by open cycle gas turbines in Australia.
It is possible in the future that big batteries become cheap enough to supply bulk power storage (with projected carbon pricing schemes) and provide the ability for much higher renewables penetration.
Increible, en chile empezo el cambio a las energias renovables y ya contamos con casi todo el transporte publico libre de emisiones ya que son buses electricos, como en el desierto de atacama contamos con la unica planta termosolar de america latina, y que en unos años mas sera la planta termosolar mas grande del mundo, ahora empezaron con la creacion de plantas para crear el hidrogeno verde en el sur, Chile va por un buen camino, para terminar con la neutralidad de los gases de efecto invernadero ❤️🇨🇱💙🌿🌳

Es resto de buses son disel, pero los nuevos cumplen con la última norma medioambiental europea respeto a temas de emocione.

Wow dude where are you :(. i just scroll through my subbed channels and i see yours and i am like: damn that was some time i think. 3 months ago. Good voice and quality videos
Light-weight lithium based batteries makes sense for mobile devices such as phones and cars but its ludicrous to be using it for storing "renewable energy".
Hydrogen cars will be much more sustainable. The argument against hydrogen is that it's expensive but with enough demand the processing costs can be easily brought down
All it needs is more money for more development
Hydrogen cars are innefficient. You generate electricity to make the hydrogen, but then only get 40% of that electricity back to move the car. A battery EV is 90% efficient.
Battery EVs can be linked vehivle-to-grid to charge and discharge when needed to make renewables more effective. They spend 90% of the time parked, so can do double duty as distributed stationary storage. Then when battery degredation makes driving impractical, they can be replaced and used as permanent battery storage for another 10-20 years.
Hydrogen has it's place, but small passenger vehicles aren't a practical use.
Large trucks, trains, and boats would make good hydrogen vehicles, maybe. Anywhere that needs lots of power, where batteries would be impractically large. But batteries are getting smaller and more powerful, so hydrogen might not be useful forever.
@@AlexRetsam trains can and should run directly off the grid
@@GTSW1FT A lot are. Although Australia has only 11 percent of it's train tracks electrified. The US is similar I think. Over large distances retrofitting the infrastructure sometimes isn't pheasible short term. Hydrogen can be a quicker fix to decarbonise.

Finally the money needed for the long postponed Holy Chilean -Croatian empire ….
As an Aussie I'm hesitant to agree. We control very little of our resources and often import a lot of stuff from China. We also aren't very innovative. In medical research, a lot of people get a degree here and then leave to go pursue research in East Asia or Europe instead, because we consider Australia deadweight in innovation. We aren't trying to control the world, and we have little ability to take down China
Love Australia. Too bad they are behind in educating their workforce in high tech.
@@ThomasLee123 agreed
the zinc thing is funny to me because it only really affects Australia slightly (3rd place globally in zinc production). if its a natural resource there's a good chance Australia has loads of it.
Thanks for the great video. I see your point but as you know, the energy storage industrie understand the supply issues with lithium and are constantly working for a more efficient and cheaper alternative. There has already been great advances which we will see in the near future.
Graphite batteries if im not mistaken?
Yes. Hello lithium, goodbye lithium. Like other flashes in the pan lithium will soon be just a painful memory in the firefighter's anthem.
Lithium batterys have around 5% of lithium… so nah, Chile been the largest copper producer its the way to go, because when everything will change to another battery technology like graphene, copper still will be needed.
better to mine the shit out of Lithium while it's still highly valuable then, just like Chile has been doing these last decades
Im chilean and yeah this information is true
Main difference between lithium and oil is year lithium is recyclable and the recycling tech is already 90%+ efficient at reclaiming so virgin lithium mining demand will probably peak much sooner than oil
However only 5 percent of all lithium is recycled we are still far behind lithium recycling,
@@WupeViasco That's about to change very fast - spent battery packs are cheaper to "mine".

It's great to hear from you again! Hoping all's well with you!
Lithium is a common element but the highest value sources ( most concentrated) are in dry climates hence Australia and Chile have the richest deposits. There is a good bit of spodumene in North Carolina and Mexico has some lithium too. You can also make a sodium battery and lithium can be recycled. Oil is finished demand will drop or be flat because of battery operated cars. You still need oil for aviation and chemical feedstocks.
Oil will still be in demand until we can replace every single gas engine and every single petroleum product. Modern pharmaceutical and fertilizer industries are both based on petroleum.
Oil is finished because electricity for electric cars is created by magic!
Oil is still used for the manufacture of plastics and nylon... I can't imagine a modern world without plastics at least.
@@littleblackcat2273 Rubber industries aswell.
The earth is loaded with oil and methane (natural gas), God's great gift to humanity as we progress into higher levels of awareness. The UN lie about Global Warming is a temporary condition and, even now, the scientific community is beginning to knock holes in the Marxist narrative as they attempt to destroy the successful society structures in the West.
Nuclear weapons typically contain 93 percent or more plutonium-239, less than 7 percent plutonium-240, and very small quantities of other plutonium isotopes. Would you explain why you said they were made from lithium?
Thermonuclear bombs use lithium to produce tritium for the fusion reaction. At the time this was the main use of lithium, well before it was being use in batteries.
I think this was the point he was making
plutonium is used in the fission stage of a thermonuclear bomb, the litium 6 is used in the fusion stage which is where the really big yeilds come from
Lithium has unique properties and can not be replaced easily
Happy to see you back on CZcams
Gotta be honest; forgot I recently subbed ya. Distilling geopolitics into a catchphrase that causes confusion must tickle you pink. I know I had the dumbest look on my face for 5 seconds trying to parse out some meaning when this popped-up in the feed, and failed. It will make perfect sense later though 👍
Australia has tonnes of sand and gold also. Australia is just a huge mining pit. Pity it didn't have massive oil reserves like Saudi Arabia..
Had some in the straight between east Timor and NT, but we tried to stuff over east timor to get it back in the 90's and have been fighting court battles over it ever since. By the time we ever start mining it the world will have moved on from oil.
I don't want my country to be a huge mining pit, no one does.
Australia does have a lot, however its not crude oil, however even the USA has used most of its Crude, at lest discovered, in 20 years we mite find huge oil resources that we couldn't get to before, mining isn't as straightforward as most people think.
But it's not profitable to mine in Australia, we have about 1/3 the shale as the USA has, and 70% of USA oil is from shale deposits now and they uses the franking.
But it is also pretty bad for the environment something Australia has to be a lot more careful about.
But people forget that we can't exactly see under ground so it's a lot of digging hole's and they have a limite of how far they can drill, but thing's are constantly evolving, a lot of mines around the world today taken how they are now back 30 years ago wouldn't be operating without modern technology and methods ect.

Pilbara Minerals is owned by Australians i own some shares, the price per ton has gone from about $450 usd a ton to the latest auction figures $7800 a ton. In 2018 the big banks said there was a lithium glut and Altura which was a lithium company next door to Pilbara went bankrupt.
Lithium brines are draining the water table in the Atacama desert which is creating ecological issues.
Energy production? Guess who has limitless sun, and is the island continent with wave power and huge tidal extremes, in close enough range to run undersea cables to the global population centre of South East Asia.
That's right, Australia again...

@@minors290 SOME GET A LOT MORE THAN OTHERS
... and guess who is the fifth largest worldwide natural gas exporter, but faced a natural gas shortage crisis earlier this year due to ineffectual government regulations and the industry being controlled by private enterprises? That's right, Australia again... 😞
I'm saying this an Aussie - just because there's a lot of natural resources here, doesn't mean the people who live here collectively benefit from their extraction.
Australian Government charges those companies an arm and a leg to extract the resources though. The country has been benefiting from mining FDI forever. That's why they're all wealthy
@@thomasrodwell9669 No.
Just frankly, no.
Royalties rights are small, normally around 6 to 8% of total production costs.
Corporate tax is frankly non existant. None of the North West Shelf companies have paid a single cent in corporate tax on their highly profitable extraction yet, and none are forecast to before 2030.
Why do you think everyone wants to mine in Australia? Stable government, good infrastructure, no need to spend on mercenaries to defend your investment, and no inconvenient taxation reducing your profit.
Lithium battery packs need to fall about 90% in total cost of installation to make renewables a viable basis for a stable energy system. That would require a massive amount of investment as well as a number of technological breakthroughs in both mining and battery pack construction. There are absolutely no guarantee that this will happen and yet we are already dismantling the reliable energy production system we have. The energy crisis in Europe is primarily caused by Germany just ignoring these facts and building out renewables while dismantling nuclear fleet.
The level of irrationality we are witnessing these days is not unprecedented but this time its hitting at the very foundation of civilization, energy production.
Well it doesn't need to be lithium batteries for stationary storage. Lots of other options
@@emceeboogieboots1608 Doesn't matter, they are all far too expensive.
@@jensjensen382 Compared to what?
If the alternative is power generation that is not utilised, that is essentially free.
I can install a battery at my home to store my excess power and the payback will be around 8 years. It would probably be closer to 5 if I was getting nothing for my feed back into the grid
I agree they would be taken up more quickly if cheaper, but the fact is they are on the market and being installed everywhere.
There is massive investment occurring in energy storage in Hydrogen too. So there must be some profit in it
@@emceeboogieboots1608 The alternative to shooting oneself in the foot is not to shoot oneself in the other foot. The investments in storage that are being made are based purely on a combination of political threats and tax payer subsidies. It is clear to anyone with a brain that the consequence of uncritically increasing the amount of renewables will lead to extreme swings in energy prices and that offers the opportunity of arbitrage, however that doesn't mean that its an intelligent idea, just that given a set of bad circumstances this is an opportunity to profit off of others misery.
@@jensjensen382 And relying on fossil fuels for power has done nothing for price stability in Europe or the eastern states
And if you are against taxpayer subsidies we will never see nuclear power helping out
Your channel has some pretty cool videos!
I’m so happy people are talking about this!!!
Australia has the materials, we just don’t have the jobs probs going to end up in a global renewable energy race which would be fun lol
There's so many problems with Lithium when it overheats, & the fact that although you can scale down depleting batteries & find new uses for them, for eg laptop batteries need to be high performance but home batteries are lower performance, so you can combine say 50 depleting laptop batteries & make a home battery, or house solar panels can be used on motorhomes etc, or even potentially used as cladding to be plastered over when completely used up. But that's just re-purposing, not recycling. And the processes needed to get them to first use, the mining, mining waste, factory processing etc, is very intensive..
So long term i think there will be other alternatives that could take over that are less intensive to get to production. You mention Zinc, i don't know the process needed to refine zinc. But Magnesium is another alternative which has been proven to be far more heat resistant & efficient than Lithium. And here's the cool thing, there's a company based in Australia that is in the process of trialling out their technology to produce battery grade magnesium from Coal fly ash, a radioactive waste product that is in huge piles next to every coal station globally. They're even listed on the ASX, have proven their technology in several lab trials, but are trialling out the process to see if they can successfully produce magnesium in commercial quantities efficiently. If they're successful then this will be a massive gamechanger & will prove cheaper than mining Lithium. If successful i don't think Magnesium will overtake Lithium, but it will definitely be a competitor.
And on the subject of awesome potential for competitors to established minerals for certain processes. It has been found out recently that the waste fibres from industrial hemp, can be processed into a wafer that is just as conductive as graphene, currently the most conductive mineral used commercially. Graphene is a very rare mineral used for many purposes in huge demand, especially for super-capacitors used in quantum computing. But the finding that these same supercapacitors can be produced using wafers made from waste fibre from hemp that already has so many uses & can be grown everywhere, for a fraction of the price & environmental impact of Graphene, this is a huge game changer!
You knows it gonna be good when a country is standing up to protect democracy
Holy fuck. The beginning feels more padded than my high school book reports.
That "minor setback with a fire at the facility" is the huge problem with lithium batteries. They are prone to catch fire or, even worse, explode violently. As yet, fire departments have not determined a way to put out the very hot lithium fire of an EV or other electrical battery powered device. Thus, their only way to handle fires is to allow them to burn to the ground.
Not only that but lithium batteries do not work well at all in cold temperatures such as the North/North Eastern US, Alaska, Canada and other areas with cold climates.
What I hope is that the manufacturing and production of renewable energy ends up globalised
Once it can crack base load reliability it might, but other problem include the fact that most of the rare earth crucial elements are in dodgy places like China and Russia which makes sourcing very insecure. Plus they rely on a far more complex supply chain than the fossil fuel so supply shocks and challenges furthers their instability.
@@Waverlyduli there are plenty of these elements around the world but the environmental consequences of production has generally pushed it to these other countries.
But yeah, the plants and mines to bring reserves into production don't happen overnight..
Sorry, Jack, but I think you're off in your analysis, especially regarding gird scale energy storage: various new energy storage techniques are coming into play - either as prototypes or early production - that will most likely push Li-Ion out of the market. More to the point, these new techs and techniques are in development due to the problems with Li-Ion, one of the primary ones being the overheating and combustion problem. Thus, while Li-Ion will most likely see continued use in mobile devices, it probably won't see such a future in grid scale and EVs.
Nerd.
@@chrisspulis1599 haha, hey, I could've gone into more detail. Sadly, I work for a living, otherwise I might've.
I agree, there is absolutely no reason to use lithium for grid storage. Pump hydro, molten salt and hot sand thermal storage, flow batteries among others. Sodium is also good replacement for lithium for large static energy storage, cheap and abundant.
A car is a mobile device, you just contradicted yourself, it’s entirely different to battery storage.
I've been hearing these positions for years on various stock market investment forums - yet to materialise and likely will not for a decade or two, at best.

Welcome back, finally:)
Lithium will always have an inherent advantage over any other chemical battery in terms of energy density and weight. It is the most reactive metal on the electrochemical series. Other chemical batteries are extremely unlikely to compete in terms of weight and density although might become cheaper for bulk storage at only marginally worse densities.
The newer salt batteries seem to be giving it a go, and don't spontaneously combust.
@Mike Russell Don't trust eco grifters. If you mean Molten salt then they are not practical for mobile applications and they operate at extremely high internal temperatures so still pose a potential hazard.
If you mean sodium Ion then they are promising but not because of their performance characteristics being better than lithium. They have the most potential to get close to lithium whilst using a metal that is far more readily available. Sodium is also an extremely reactive metal, it's very similar to lithium and I wouldn't bet my life on them not experiencing thermal runaway. For now it seems they are more stable and don't go into thermal runaway untill significantly higher temperatures but they absolutely can and will still catch fire and likely release a whole lot of toxic shit when they do just like lithium and not unlike uncontrolled fuel fires.
I sincerely hope sodium ion and other battery chemistries displace lithium. If sodium ion can be 80% as good in terms of energy density and power delivery that's good enough for most applications which would leave lithium batteries for only the applications where maximum possible performance is needed and will divert production into only the highest quality lithium cells.
If you talk about future energy sources that require Lithium you left out fusion reactors ,if they get their act together, inside the reactors a blanket of Lithium used to both protect the outer shell and transport the heat away ,the quantity of Lithium would be much greater than for battery.
But chile cannot have fusion reactor nor nuclear plants due to being inside the ring of fire which provokes earthquakes and tsunamis making the country too insecure for this kind of technology this is why they have to build too many eolic and solar energy plants all over the country which are inefficients and expensive.
@@sebastianmalpica3795 fusion reactors are much safer as they don't have any dangerous radioactivity elements so it would be a non issue apart from risk of damage to the facility
as a chilean I have to say that our goverment is too stupid to take advantage of the supply of litium that we have in our territory
Mining giants will do it for them.
Very well presented and easy for me to understand
Big news Niobium... and Brazil has more than 90% of the reserves 😁🇧🇷

Bullshit
Here in Australia hoping for some faster action!
We're also responsible for much solar innovation, though we always fail to capture rights to the technology, so the majority of cells in the world use our tech.
We also sell our materials for cheap and then buy back a finished product, when we could value-added here -- and we also give subsidies to multinationals who pay no tax, even though they need no incentives to steal our resources, because the resources are why they come in the first place!
I am not hoping for faster action , i am hoping that people will soon wake up to the fact that they have been deceived on a MASSIVE scale, and cease ALL EV and wind and solar production.

7:51 not if the Australian Liberal party have anything to say about it, they'd rather literally anyone else do all the work and get most of the money as long as the LNP members get a little extra to line their pockets. And they aren't picky on who does it
I was expecting something stupid and was not disappointed.
Wait, so what happens if we switch over to non-lithium based batteries over the next decade or so?
I mean, a lot of cash is being spent on battery development and Carbon is the future hopeful. Jack, I think the world is moving significantly faster than you seem to think it is, in terms of technological development.
Also, can't you extract lithium from ocean water? We're developing new sources of energy, so, energy will likely be ample in supply and won't pose an issue.
look at the atomic number of lithium, the mass number of lithium and the reduction potential of lithium and then try to argue for a non-lithium based battery. you wont get very far. if you want light, dense batteries, lithium is king. if weight doesnt matter, ie standing power generation facilities that need huge storage, lithium would probably eventually be a hinderance tbh.
Australia still has massive amounts of all mineral, for example there's 68 cobalt mines currently in development.
@@jonathanodude6660 Lithium is light, but that doesn't mean it is the ultimate in lightweight energy storage. Look at the potential of graphene and carbon nanotubes for example.
This is the Ford Model T era of EV's. There is significant progress to be made. What we have today is probably "stone age" compared to even 10 years from now, based on current investments.
@@lostinbravado it’s not about lithium being light. It’s about other elements being heavy. Carbon is already used as an electrode in Li-ion batteries, usually in graphite form but graphene batteries have already been shipped as well. Look at the standard reduction potential for that though. Quite useless for anything but the electrodes.
From a fundamental perspective, lithium has 3 electrons in its ground atomic state, and you can release a huge amount of energy when you remove the 3rd electron, and store as much energy when you replace it. Other than that, it’s got 3 protons and maybe 3 or 4 neutrons. The very next alkali metal has 8 more electrons that repel the valence shell, as well as 8 more protons that add weight, only to store less energy in the 1 removable electron, not even including the added ~8 neutrons that only add weight without adding storage. You go from an atomic weight of 6.94 g/mol to 22.99 g/mol (3.3x heavier for the same number of atoms) and a reduction potential of 3.04 V to 2.713 V (11% less energy for the same number of atoms). That means that lithium will ALWAYS deliver superior energy to weight ratio of any element ever. It’s not like we didn’t know this when lithium ion was invented. We went for the best as soon as we could safely handle it, and it’s brought us where we are today.
All future batteries will have trade offs, and the most common one we’ll see is the energy density by weight. It is genuinely impossible to beat lithium from a chemical perspective. Even composite materials made with transition metals would be improved simply by swapping those metals for lithium. It is simultaneously the strongest elemental reductant and lightest possible cathode. Remember that the way to make materials lighter and smaller is to simply put less in, and to make them less dense, you allow air to penetrate the structure. Air is worse than useless for battery tech, and the stuff is the battery, so less stuff is a bad thing. You actually want more battery/energy density, which lithium is obviously the best for. We started with the best material that exists, and a better one literally doesn’t right now (only hydrogen and helium are lighter, but storing either of those in a battery is a funny joke, and neither of them are as reactive, unless metallic hydrogen makes a breakthrough. Even then, you need crazy temperatures and pressures to make it, and it cannot exist in earths atmosphere or climate so you won’t be seeing it in personal or even commercial batteries in your lifetime, assuming metallic hydrogen is discovered in your lifetime. Higher reduction potentials probably exist, I do not know what they are because no one has measured them yet. Those are probably very complex molecules that are extremely dangerous to move around due to exploding in contact with air and making large quantities of it would probably be illegal basically anywhere on the planet that has a government.) though you could probably beat its energy density by volume but absolutely no one cares about volume as much as they care about weight. No one wants to lug around a half kilo battery for their phone.
LMAO HE'S BACK!!! Love it.
You got us, we’re trying pretty hard at it
buen video, soy de chile y te voy a escribir en chileno, no veo por donde este pais seria veneficiado por la extraccion del litio, ya tenemos el ejemplo de codelco, cualquier persona que trabaje para codelco, si gana dinero y de forma totalmente desproporcionada, si explotamos el litio, solo vamos a generar otra empresa que robara los recursos a cambio de la explotacion de la mano de obra, la unica forma de que realmente todo se vean beneficiados , es que nosotros mismos hagamos las baterias , no es nuevo ver a las grandes potencias minar a los paises que poseen los recursos, sin importar las realidades economicas de ellos, ahora, mira en el pasado y ve lo que ocurrio con el salitre...lo que pasa con el cobre...seria distinto con el litio..no lo creo, por que hacer que el fuerte sea mas fuerte, que ellitio se quede aca, en chile ,y si algo se exporta, que sea el producto final, quieren baterias de litio, perfecto, pongamos la fabrica aca, no a la exportacion de materias primas
