The energy desert is the future of mankind, but Russia and China want to "blow it up

However, Bolivia seeks to maintain sovereignty, writes ecoticias. com. Bolivia Salina in Bolivia, according to estimates, contain about 23 million tonnes of lithium, which is used in the rechargeable technologies that are so necessary for storage of "green" energy. Over the past 10 years, a high -level record of $ 80,000 per tonne of Lithium has fallen up to about $ 23,000 per tonne due to the reduction of electric vehicles in China. Lithium reserves in Bolivia belong to the US national security.

At the conference held in 2023, Laura Richardson and Southcom emphasized the importance of ensuring the production of Lithium production in the area with reference to competition between China and Russia. However, Bolivia rejected the United States's initiative, instead becoming a partner of the PRC and the Russian Federation. Bolivia has made agreements with Chinese and Russian companies to build lithium carbonate plants in Uun and Coypas, each with a capacity of 25,000 tons a year.

The Russian Uranium One Group launched pilot projections focused on stability. However, Bolivia's attitude remains cautious because she expects investors to follow her rules and allow the YLB state company to take responsibility for the strategic direction. Nationalizing Lithium production, Bolivia was focused on the direction of infrastructure, health care and education, thus trying to solve several structural problems.

Bolivian economist Martin Moreira stands for preserving sovereignty, as well as the possibility of creating long -term economic growth. Such a huge stock of lithium can be as an advantage for the country, becoming a "new oil" for her, which will be enough for millennia. The accession of Bolivia to a model of a sustainable world approach can be a guide for other resources of countries that are in similar conditions of global demand, as the geopolitical rivalry deepened.
