Podcasts about Lithium

Lawn darts. Radium face cream. Cocaine in soda. Bloodletting. Leaded gasoline.History is full of confident ideas that seemed safe — until consequences caught up.Why do smart people, trusted experts, and entire generations embrace ideas that later look reckless?This episode explores historical medical mistakes, dangerous consumer products, industrial-era optimism, radioactive beauty treatments, early pharmaceuticals like heroin and lithium soda, and cultural norms that once felt completely responsible.They weren't foolish.They were informed — with the information they had.Bloodletting was science.Radium was modern.Lead solved engine knock.DDT worked brilliantly — at first.Progress often succeeds before it reveals its price.This isn't about mocking the past.It's about recognizing a pattern.

In dieser Podcast-Folge spreche ich mit Daniel Jimenez Schuster, Managing Partner und Mitgründer von iLiMarkets. Daniel ist seit mehr als zwanzig Jahren in der globalen Lithiumindustrie tätig und hat in dieser Zeit unter anderem in führenden Positionen bei SQM gearbeitet. Sein Blick auf Elektromobilität, Batterien und Industriepolitik ist geprägt von Marktdaten, praktischer Erfahrung und einem tiefen Verständnis der gesamten Batterie-Wertschöpfungskette. Im Zentrum unseres Gesprächs steht eine These, die der öffentlichen Debatte widerspricht: Lithium ist nicht das eigentliche Kernproblem der europäischen Energiewende. Während Politik und Öffentlichkeit stark auf Rohstoffe und Versorgungssicherheit fokussieren, sieht Daniel den entscheidenden Engpass an anderer Stelle. Wettbewerbsfähige Batteriezellfertigung fehle in Europa weitgehend. Ohne diese industrielle Basis entstehe weder ein stabiler Bedarf an Kathodenmaterialien noch an Lithiumchemikalien. Sein Leitsatz dazu lautet: Das Upstream folgt dem Downstream. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist die Rolle Chinas im globalen Batteriemarkt. Daniel erklärt, warum China heute eine dominante Stellung innehat und wie Skalierung, Lernkurven und frühe Technologieentscheidungen – insbesondere zugunsten von LFP-Zellen – zu erheblichen Kostenvorteilen geführt haben. Europa und die USA hätten dagegen lange auf andere Zellchemien gesetzt und dadurch mehrere Jahre verloren. Viele aktuell geplante Zellprojekte müssten deshalb neu ausgerichtet werden. Auch industriepolitische Maßnahmen wie Förderprogramme, der Aufbau europäischer Lithiumförderung oder der Critical Raw Materials Act werden kritisch eingeordnet. Daniel argumentiert, dass Europa keinen strukturellen Vorteil im Bergbau habe und öffentliche Mittel besser in Technologie, Industrie und Zellproduktion investiert wären. Rohstoffautarkie allein schaffe keine Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. Ein eigenes Kapitel widmet sich der Direct Lithium Extraction. Diese Technologie wird häufig als nachhaltige Lösung für Europa dargestellt, etwa im Oberrheingraben. Daniel ordnet Chancen und Grenzen realistisch ein und erklärt, warum DLE langfristig relevant sein kann, kurzfristig jedoch kaum ein kostengünstiger Gamechanger ist. Abschließend sprechen wir über Partnerschaften mit China, steigende Lithiumpreise und die Frage, wie Europa industrielle Souveränität erreichen kann. Die zentrale Erkenntnis dieser Folge: Nicht der Rohstoff entscheidet über die Zukunft der Elektromobilität, sondern Know-how, Skalierung und industrielle Umsetzung. Nun aber genug der Einordnung – lasst uns direkt in das Gespräch einsteigen.

 ChatGPT has been in the news a lot lately and, as a result, quite a few STEM-Talk listeners have tossed us questions about the reliability and limitations of generative-artificial intelligence chatbots as well as large-language models more broadly.  Ken and Dawn tackle this question and a number of others in today's Ask Me Anything episode. We have listeners wondering why astronauts train in underwater conditions for spacewalks; icebreakers in antarctica; the value of supplementing with urolithin-A; and the effectiveness of L-citrulline in helping aging blood vessels. Ken also weights in on questions related to lithium deficiency and the onset of Alzheimer's disease; a study that found mTOR activation may not be necessary for ketamine's beneficial effects in the context of depression; and a paper that demonstrated short-term mTOR inhibition by rapamycin improved cardiac and endothelial function in older men. Show notes: [00:02:49] Ken opens our AMA with a listener question for Dawn, which asks why, despite the differences between diving and zero-gravity environments, why do astronauts train in underwater conditions for spacewalks. The listener goes on to mention an article they read about NASA's neutral buoyancy lab in Houston, which contains a partial replica of the International Space Station. [00:07:42] A listener asks Ken if he is still optimistic about the value of supplementing with urolithin-A, and if so, is there a brand he recommends. Ken mentions episodes 118, with Julie Anderson, and 173, with Anurag Singh. Ken also discusses a paper titled “Effect of the mitophagy inducer urolithin A on age related immune decline, a randomized placebo-controlled trial” co-authored by Anurag. Ken also mentions clinical research supporting the urolithin-A supplement Mitopure. [00:10:53] A listener asks Ken about a paper titled “Short-term mTOR inhibition by rapamycin improves cardiac and endothelial function in older men: a proof-of-concept pilot study.” [00:14:29] Ken discusses a 2020 paper from a research group at Yale, which suggested that mTOR activation may not be necessary for ketamine's beneficial effects in the context of depression. The paper also reported that m-TOR suppression via rapamycin might prolong ketamine's antidepressant effects. [00:18:47] A research scientist formerly working in Antarctica asks Ken about Russia's dominance in the realm of ice breakers. [00:23:55] A listener mentions that for some people, when they used ChatGPT to ask about the assassination of political commentator Charlie Kirk, ChatGPT sometimes responded by denying the assassination occurred. The listener asks Ken about the credibility and reliability of generative AI and large-language models. [00:28:49] Several listeners have submitted questions for Ken regarding a paper published in Nature in August of last year titled “Lithium deficiency in the onset of Alzheimer's disease.” Ken gives his thoughts on this paper. [00:31:56] For our final question this AMA, a listener asks Ken about the arginine paradox, which regards L-arginine, which is used by the body to make nitric oxide, which is necessary to relax and maintain flexibility of blood vessels. However, several papers have reported that supplementation of arginine does not reliably improve aging blood vessels. In contrast, recent research suggests that L-citrulline might be more effective. The listeners sent questions asking about the possible effects of citrulline in vascular health and aging. In his answer, Ken cites the following papers: — Administration of L-arginine plus L-citrulline or L-citrulline alone successfully retarded endothelial senescence. — Effects of L-Citrulline Supplementation on Endothelial Function, Arterial Stiffness, and Blood Glucose Level in the Fasted and Acute Hyperglycemic States in Middle-Aged and Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes. — Citrulline Supplementation Improves Microvascular Function and Muscle Strength in Middle-Aged and Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes. — Effects of L-citrulline supplementation and watermelon intake on arterial stiffness and endothelial function in middle-aged and older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. — Citrulline regulates macrophage metabolism and inflammation to counter aging in mice.

Lithium ist wichtig für die Batterieherstellung. Im Erzgebirg liegt eine Menge davon im Boden. Hier den Schatz zu heben statt aus fernen Ländern zu improtieren - das wäre ein Beitrag zum Klimaschutz, sagen Befürworter.

Lancement d'une phase de tests dans le Nord-Alsace. Après avoir terminé les travaux de son premier puits d'exploration à Schwabwiller, la société Lithium de France va réaliser plusieurs essais pendant trois à cinq semaines. L'objectif est de valider la pression du fluide géothermal, la température de l'eau et le procédé d'extraction de lithium, avant l'installation d'une éventuelle centrale de géothermie et une usine d'extraction de lithium. Une réunion pour échanger sur le projet et les risques associés est prévue le mardi 31 mars à Haguenau.A quelques jours des élections municipales, Azur FM, en partenariat avec les quotidiens les DNA et l'Alsace, vous propose une série de débats. Le premier s'est tenu lundi soir au théâtre de Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines et opposait les quatre têtes de liste briguant la mairie de la commune. Nous vous proposons d'en retrouver un extrait. Les candidats expriment leur position sur l'avenir de l'ancien lycée général, situé rue Osmont. On les écoute, en commençant par Luigi Penin. Les candidats se sont aussi exprimés sur leur vision autour du réseau de transports en commun Elsa, sur leurs propositions pour enrayer le déclin démographique de Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, ou encore pour rebooster l'économie. Retrouvez l'intégralité de ce débat en podcast audio et vidéo sur notre site internet azur-fm.com. Ce dernier est aussi décrypté dans les quotidiens DNA et l'Alsace.

Des footballeurs en week-end dans la vallée de Munster ont été violemment agressés dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche, rue de l'Eglise à Munster. Alors qu'ils quittaient un restaurant, trois jeunes hommes les auraient pris à partie, leur reprochant de faire trop de bruit. L'altercation a dégénéré : trois touristes ont été sérieusement blessés, notamment par des coups portés avec une bouteille de vodka. Les victimes souffrent de plaies au crâne et au nez. Les trois suspects ont été arrêtés, deux d'entre eux sont déjà connus de la justice. Agression sexuelle à Lutzelhouse, un prévenu amnésique. Un homme de 22 ans a été condamné par le tribunal de Saverne pour agression sexuelle commise en juin dernier à Lutzelhouse. La victime, âgée de 23 ans, affirme avoir été agressée malgré ses refus répétés. Des hématomes constatés par un médecin légiste ont confirmé la violence des faits. A l'audience, le prévenu assure ne garder aucun souvenir de la nuit en raison de l'alcool et de la fatigue. Le tribunal a finalement prononcé une peine de 36 mois de prison, dont 12 ferme aménagés sous bracelet électronique ainsi qu'un suivi de soins.Hébergé par Ausha.

Surge Battery Metals Vice President, Commercial Development Steffen Ball joined Angela Harmantas at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada or PDAC conference in Toronto to share news about the company's latest progress at its Nevada lithium project and the strategic developments driving its growth. Ball highlighted renewed optimism across the mining sector, particularly in critical minerals, noting stronger engagement from governments and industry stakeholders. He said the energy at this year's event reflects growing recognition of the importance of securing supply chains for key battery materials. Ball recently joined Surge Battery Metals after working in the automotive industry, including roles with major manufacturers. He explained that this background provides valuable insight into the downstream battery supply chain and the role lithium plays in electric vehicles. “I understand the value chain — where the lithium goes once it's produced out of the ground. It needs to go through this very complicated supply chain before it's in batteries and into a vehicle,” Ball said. During the interview, Ball also discussed the company's operational progress in Nevada. Surge Battery Metals recently signed a joint venture with Evolution Mining, bringing an experienced mining partner into the project area. At the same time, the company has been advancing drilling work focused primarily on infill drilling to strengthen its mineral resource, along with step-out drilling that continues to return high-grade lithium results. The company expects to update its mineral resource in the coming months and has begun work on its first pre-feasibility study, being conducted with engineering firm Fluor, with results targeted toward the end of the year. #proactiveinvestors #pdac2026 #SurgeBatteryMetals #tsxv #nili #otcqx #nilif #Lithium#CriticalMinerals #BatteryMetals #NevadaMining #EnergyTransition #EVSupplyChain #MiningStocks #LithiumStocks

Q2 Metals VP Exploration Neil McCallum joined Angela Harmantas at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada or PDAC conference in Toronto to share news the company's advancing lithium exploration at the Cisco project in the James Bay region of Quebec and the progress toward its first resource estimate. McCallum explained that the discovery at James Bay is relatively recent, with major exploration momentum building since 2022–2023. With lithium market conditions beginning to strengthen again, the company is now working toward a key milestone: publishing its initial mineral resource estimate. McCallum said the company has already completed the drilling required for the upcoming estimate, with a data cut-off at the end of December. However, exploration activity continues as Q2 Metals carries out further drilling designed to expand and infill the deposit. He highlighted encouraging drilling results that have identified high-grade lithium zones. As the drilling grid becomes tighter, these zones are beginning to show continuity across the project area. “This is a very large target for drilling,” McCallum said, noting that the discovery could rank among the top five to ten hard-rock lithium deposits by size. The mineralization at the project is hosted in hard-rock pegmatites, which are known for producing high-grade lithium deposits. The James Bay region is also considered a favourable mining jurisdiction thanks to strong geology and existing infrastructure. According to McCallum, Q2 Metals' exploration target suggests the initial resource could fall within 250 to 329 million tonnes, which could make it one of the largest lithium resources in the James Bay region. #proactiveinvestors #q2metals #tsxv #qtwo #otcqb #quexf #pdac2026 #Q2Metals #LithiumExploration #JamesBay #LithiumStocks #MiningStocks #CriticalMinerals #HardRockLithium #MiningExploration #QuebecMining #BatteryMetals #ResourceEstimate #JuniorMining #PDAC2026

Jordan Rusche, Founder of Mining Stock Monkey, joins me for an in-depth and nuanced discussion on the recent volatility in oil prices, gold and silver prices, and his approach to valuing precious metals mining stocks and royalty companies; along with which companies he is actively trading in his portfolio.   We start out reviewing how the geopolitical tensions with the US and Iran have spiked the oil price over the past week, but that he is valuing companies on their fundamental alpha, regardless of the short-term noise in the market from news.   We dissected the value proposition synergies from the news announced February 2nd about Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN) and Coterra Energy (NYSE: CTRA) announcing a merger in an all-stock transaction. The business combination will create a leading large-cap shale operator with a high-quality asset base anchored by a premier position in the economic core of the Delaware Basin.   Next we shifted over to some of the valuations in the gold producers in his portfolio. Jordan breaks down why he likes larger producers with growth on tap, highlighting the fundamental growth factors for Endeavour Mining plc (TSX:EDV) (OTCQX:EDVMF) (LSE:EDV) and strong full-year 2025 production of 1,209,000 ounces of gold at an AISC of ~1,435/oz; with a H2-2025 dividend of $200m, and >$1bn shareholder returns program. We also followed up on our discussion from earlier this month where he was spot on about some of the operational risks he had cautioned investors about with regards to  B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO) (NYSE AMERICAN: BTG), that came out of Q4 earnings, and more importantly, FY guidance for 2026.     We spend the balance of the discussing diving into why he sees the growth and value proposition as compelling in a couple royalty companies:   First, Jordan outlines the growth on tap for Royal Gold, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD)over the next couple of years, especially when it comes to some of the long-life assets that came into the company through the acquisition of Sandstorm Gold last year that aren't properly reflected yet due to limitations in using a DCF valuation. Second, Jordan highlights that positioning in Altius Minerals Corporation (TSX: ALS) (OTCQX: ATUSF) allows him to have access to Potash, Lithium, Copper, and Renewable Energy sectors; all through the diversification and reduced risk of a solid royalty company.   Jordan is extending a limited-time offer to KE Report listeners for those that would like to be become new Mining Stock Monkey subscribers.  Claim Your 25% Discount on a 1-year subscription!

Decarbonisation is triggering a new great-power race. As demand for green technologies and sustainable power sources grows, Washington and Beijing are battling for control of cobalt, lithium, copper, and nickel - the critical metals that will determine who lands on top of the global energy transition. In this episode, Nicolas Niarchos joins host Atossa Araxia Abrahamian to discuss The Elements of Power, a sweeping investigation into the war for the global supply of battery metals. From the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Indonesia and beyond, Niarchos uncovers a world shaped by rapacious colonial legacies, Cold War maneuvering, corporate rivalry, and dazzling technological innovation.  Niarchos argues that as wealthy nations push to electrify their economies, the human and environmental costs are pushed out of sight - onto miners working by hand, polluted communities, and territories still treated as expendable.

Aussie stocks stalled today, drifting lower for a third session as global uncertainty took hold. Despite an early climb, the index succumbed to a late fade, echoing a weak Wall Street lead where the S&P 500 slumped on AI disruption fears and the official start of President Trump’s trade tariffs. A 10% levy on all global imports took effect this afternoon. Energy and Materials sectors provided the only sparks, with the latter hitting a record high as BHP cracked a fresh peak. Lithium miners Liontown and Pilbara Minerals also surged following a price rebound. In reporting news, Viva Energy and Woodside jumped after beating expectations, but Adore Beauty plummeted 28% as deep discounting savaged margins. Steve Daghlian and Laura Besarati are Market Analysts at CommSec. Each episode, they break down the day's market movements and explain what the numbers really mean.

Lithium has doubled in three months. Copper is printing record highs. Silver went vertical—then collapsed. The move was fast. The reversals were faster. Volatility isn't elevated. It's systemic.  But this isn't just another commodity cycle. These metals sit at the core of the energy transition. They're embedded in batteries, EVs, transmission lines, datacenters, wind turbines, and solar modules. When they move, the entire transition complex moves with them.  So, what are we really looking at? Is this a positioning squeeze in thin markets? Or the early tremors of a structural repricing?  The divide is clear. At The Carlyle Group, Jeff Currie argues we're only “on the foothills of the Himalayas” — the early stage of a structural supercycle driven by electrification, grid build-out, and constrained supply. Ed Morse pushes back. High prices cure high prices. Capital flows. Supply responds. Markets rebalance. Cycles end the way they always have. Two very different frameworks. One structural. One cyclical.  To cut through the noise, Laurent and Gerard sit down with Matt Fernley, Managing Director at Battery Materials Review and Partner at RK Equity. They dissect what's actually driving these rallies — inventory tightness, permitting bottlenecks, capital discipline, geopolitics, demand elasticity.  They confront the supply question head-on: Can new production realistically catch up — on time, on budget, and at scale? And they explore the technologies that could reshape the curve — from the re-emergence of direct lithium extraction (DLE) to the accelerating development of sodium-ion batteries.  This isn't just about price volatility. It's about whether the energy transition is entering a new cost regime. Because if these inputs are structurally repricing, everything downstream changes. And if they aren't — the unwind could be just as violent.----Link to the report by the Volta Foundationhttps://volta.foundation/battery-report-2025/

On this episode, Jared starts a new series - Mighty Minerals! He kicks the series off by exploring lithium from a completely different perspective—not just as a psychiatric medication, but as a naturally occurring trace mineral that may play a role in mood balance, stress resilience, sleep rhythm, and cognitive support. You'll learn the difference between high-dose pharmaceutical lithium and low-dose nutritional lithium, why dosage and intent matter, and how integrative practitioners are using micro-doses as part of a broader wellness strategy. Jared also breaks down how lithium interacts with circadian rhythm, neurotransmitter signaling, and brain stability, plus how nutrients like magnesium, omega-3s, B vitamins, inositol, and adaptogenic herbs may complement it. This episode is educational and empowering, designed to help you think critically about mental wellness, trace minerals, and personal responsibility for your health.Products:KAL Lithium OrotateSolaray Lithium AspartateVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Today's episode breaks down Christian Briggs' Part Four of his policy paper, "China's Strategic Assault on Dollar Hegemony Through Banking Infrastructure, Critical Mineral Dominance, and the Architecture of De-Dollarization - Part 4". Christian pulls back the curtain on what may be the biggest monetary shift since 1974—and it's happening right now. Forget headlines about tariffs and trade deals. This episode argues Washington is quietly constructing a “Mineral-Dollar” system designed to defend the U.S. dollar against BRICS, yuan oil trades, and China's gold accumulation strategy.The thesis is explosive: the dollar isn't being replaced—it's being fortified. If the petrodollar weakens, America wants a second anchor already in place. That second pillar? Critical minerals. Rare earths. Lithium. Silver. Platinum. Cobalt. And eventually—gold.Through Project Vault, Section 232 tariff authority, and the launch of the Forge mineral trade bloc, the U.S. is building a multilateral pricing regime that could lock 30–50 nations into dollar-denominated mineral trade. Instead of oil forcing global dollar demand, it becomes batteries, semiconductors, AI infrastructure, and defense metals doing the job. The strategy mirrors Nixon and Kissinger's 1974 petrodollar architecture—but adapted for the Silicon Age.And then comes the bombshell: gold's exclusion from the 2025 critical minerals list wasn't a mistake. It was sequencing. Gold doesn't meet the technical “supply disruption” criteria—but it has already been quietly folded into executive orders expanding the definition of strategic minerals. If gold is formally added, it opens the door to government-set reference pricing and—most controversially—revaluing Fort Knox's 8,133 tons of gold from $42.22 per ounce to market value.That move would instantly unlock over $1 trillion in unrealized federal assets.The episode outlines a five-phase roadmap: lock in the mineral bloc, enforce tariff-backed price floors, expand processing capacity, integrate gold into the framework, and complete the mineral-dollar nexus by 2030. It also warns of accelerants that could compress the timeline—Chinese export embargoes, BRICS gold-backed settlement announcements, or a dollar confidence crisis.China won't sit idle. The podcast details how Beijing could respond with rare earth embargoes, yuan-denominated mineral trade, or accelerating gold purchases. But here's the twist: if the West aggregates its reserves, it may still control more gold—and more infrastructure—than China.The final message is clear: this isn't just trade policy. It's monetary warfare. The mineral dollar system is either America's next 50-year foundation—or the battlefield where the next financial order is decided.The only question left: who moves first?

If you've been thinking about swapping out your old lead acid batteries for lithium — but you're not sure if it's worth the money or if they're even safe — this episode is for you. Scott walks through his real-world experience after two years running lithium phosphate batteries on his boat, covering the pros, the cons, the gear you'll need, and the mistakes to avoid.In This Episode:Why lithium batteries are far safer than the lithium batteries that gave the technology a bad nameHow lithium nearly doubles your usable capacity at half the weightThe charger, inverter, and DC-to-DC changes you may need to makeWhy some outboard manufacturers (like Yamaha) say not to connect lithium directly — and how to work around itHow the battery management system app lets you monitor charge state and troubleshoot electrical draws in real timeScott's honest two-year review running EPOCH lithium batteries on his boatTimestamps:00:00 – Introduction and Seattle Boat Show recap 01:30 – Anglers Unlimited Gold community update and PSA scholarship announcement 03:30 – North of Falcon salmon season setting preview 04:15 – Lithium battery safety: Why LiFePO4 is different from old lithium tech 06:00 – Pros: Capacity, weight savings, and consistent 14-volt output 08:30 – Cycle life and warranty 09:30 – Cost comparison: Lithium vs. Lead acid 10:00 – Charger upgrades: Why your old charger won't cut it 11:30 – Inverter compatibility and brand options 12:30 – The outboard question: Direct connection vs. DC-to-DC charger 16:00 – Dual-purpose batteries and cold cranking amps 17:30 – Charging best practices: The 20–80% rule 18:30 – The battery management app and real-world monitoring 20:30 – Scott's two-year honest review and final thoughtsKey Takeaways:Lithium phosphate batteries nearly double your usable capacity at roughly half the weight of lead acid.They maintain above 14 volts all the way down — no more anxious voltage watching on long anchor days.Budget around $400 per battery versus $200 for lead acid, but factor in the 11-year warranty and 3,500+ cycle lifespan.Check your outboard manufacturer's stance before connecting lithium directly — a DC-to-DC charger is the safest route for most setups.Your old trickle charger won't work — lithium batteries need a compatible charger that can deliver 30+ amps for bulk charging.The battery management app is a game changer for monitoring charge state and tracking down mystery electrical draws.Keep batteries between 20–80% charge for maximum longevity — and you don't need to leave them plugged in when stored.Resources & Links:Anglers Unlimited Gold Waitlist: https://anglersunlimited.co/goldPSA Fidalgo Scholarship (Deadline March 15): https://www.psafidalgo.org/scholarships-and-grants/WDFW Fishing Regulations: https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulationsNorth of Falcon Process: https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/management/north-falconBrands Mentioned: EPOCH, Dakota Lithium, Victron, Ionic, MasterVolt (inverters)Want structured courses, expert seminars, fishing maps, and a community that helps you catch more fish?

In Deutschland schlummern große, ungenutzte Lithium-Reserven – einem der wichtigsten Rohstoffe für E-Autos, Smartphones oder KI-Rechenzentren. Noch sind wir beim Lithium fast vollständig abhängig vom Ausland. Im Gespräch mit Johannes Döbbelt erzählt die Journalistin Heidi Mühlenberg, wo die geplante Förderung hierzulande in Deutschland schon bald starten soll, welche Umweltbedenken es gibt und wie Anwohner reagieren. Von Johannes Döbbelt.

Lithium ion batteries power our everyday lives and are at the heart of the green electric revolution. But there's a very dirty story behind the clean image - the minerals and rare earths that go into making our phone and EV batteries are as geopolitically important as oil once was. Journalist Nicolas Niarchos' The Elements of Power starkly outlines the ravaging cost to the people and the environment where they're mined, and the global machinations by superpowers including China and the USA as they vye for world dominance. Nicolas Niarchos tells Susie extractive capitalism and its supply chain wreaks havoc across the globe, not least on the messy reality of a greener future.

A sobering investigation of the rush for lithium for electric vehicles, the problematic history of lithium mining, and the consequences for sustainability. Consumers today are buying electric vehicles with lithium-ion batteries motivated by the belief that they are doing good and decarbonizing society. But is sustainable lithium extraction possible? In Living Minerals, Javiera Barandiarán examines the history of lithium mining and uses during the twentieth century, with a specific focus on the two oldest brine-lithium mines: Silver Peak, Nevada, and Salar de Atacama, Chile, where lithium is found as one more element in a liquid mix of salts, minerals, and organisms. For six decades, mining experts have failed to ask about water usage, about waste or brine leakage, and about the ecosystem impacts in delicate deserts. Instead, they have relied on various fictions about the size of reserves, the fate of leaked brine, or the value of waste in facilitating mine development. These fictions, rooted in brine-lithium's material qualities, could be sustained thanks to powerful mining memories that celebrated resource nationalism. Unique in its historical and multidimensional approach to minerals and mining, based on the novel Rights of Nature paradigm, and using new archival materials from both Chile and the US, the book argues that decarbonizing society requires that we reckon with these realities—or risk deepening our dependency on an unsustainable mining industry. Javiera Barandiarán is Associate Professor in the Global Studies program at the University of California, Santa Barbara.  Sandra Elizabeth is a graduate student enrolled at the Department of Sociology in Shiv Nadar University, Delhi- NCR. Her research relates to water- control projects implemented in a low- lying, deltaic region in South- West Indian state of Kerala called Kuttanad– which is dubbed as the state's rice granary.

Interview with Francis Macdonald, Director & CEO of Li-FT Power Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/li-ft-power-tsxvlift-commits-7m-to-environmental-studies-for-50m-ton-lithium-project-7632Recording date: 6th February 2026Li-FT Power (TSXV:LIFT) has positioned itself at the forefront of North America's lithium sector through strategic consolidation, executing its acquisition of Winsome's Adina project as spodumene prices rebound from a 2.5-year downturn. CEO Francis MacDonald reports lithium prices have tripled from $600 per ton in July 2025 to nearly $2,000 per ton, signaling what the company believes is the early stage of an 18-24 month bull cycle.The Adina transaction addresses a critical development constraint that had artificially limited the project's potential. A claim boundary bisected the deposit, preventing Winsome from optimizing pit design across its 78 million ton resource estimate—only 35 million tons could be incorporated into preliminary mine plans. Li-FT Power had strategically acquired the southern claims before announcing the transaction, enabling complete consolidation that MacDonald expects will unlock 80-100+ million tons of resource, positioning Adina among North America's largest hard rock lithium deposits.The transaction was announced alongside $48 million in financing led by Avenir Minerals, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Agnico Eagle, at $4.30 per share—a price that subsequently doubled to over $9 as lithium sentiment strengthened. Combined with existing equity positions, the company now holds approximately $75 million to fund aggressive 2026-2027 technical programs across both its Adina and Yellowknife flagship projects.MacDonald emphasizes the importance of cyclical timing, noting that strategic acquisitions should occur during market downturns when valuations are depressed. "We saw prices starting to fall in January of 2023. And so, it was really a falling or a flat price environment for 2.5 years," he explains, adding that volatility becomes advantageous when positioned correctly within the cycle.The company plans 50,000 meters of drilling at Adina in 2026 to support a feasibility study targeted for 2027, while concurrent drilling at Yellowknife aims to expand its existing 50 million ton resource base. At the anticipated 80-100 million ton scale, MacDonald argues Adina could justify throughput rates of 4-5 million tons per year, significantly larger than typical 2 million ton per year lithium operations and improving project economics through economies of scale.View Li-FT Power's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/li-ft-power-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Listen Online: About this episode: In this thought-provoking conversation, Ann Louise Gittleman sits down with neurologist Dr. Thomas Guttuso, Jr., author of The Promise of Lithium, to explore the emerging role of carefully dosed lithium in neurodegenerative disease. Why is Parkinson's now the fastest-growing neurological disease? Dr. Guttuso explains what's driving the surge, how Parkinson's differs from Parkinsonism, and why men are diagnosed more often than women. He also introduces what he calls the brain's “Bermuda Triangle” — a vulnerable region tied to progressive neuron loss — and shares insight into a promising blood marker, neurofilament light (NFL), that may help track early damage. From there, the conversation turns to why dose and form are everything when it comes to lithium — and how the small amounts he uses clinically differ dramatically from the psychiatric doses most people associate with the mineral. He also addresses timing, prevention, L-Dopa, and whether early support could change the trajectory of these conditions. If you're concerned about Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, MS, or simply protecting long-term brain health, this interview offers a grounded and science-driven perspective on a mineral that may hold broader implications than many realize.  Check out Dr. Guttoso’s book at https://amzn.to/3YUgv4p and the form of lithium he recommends at https://amzn.to/4k7xDxE.

Mood, motivation, and emotional resilience are not personality traits. They are biological systems. In this episode, you'll get the 12 greatest mood boosters on Earth, not as a clickbait supplement list, but as the real biological levers that control dopamine sensitivity, hormones, neuroplasticity, and energy production.Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down in Dubai with friend of the show, Lucas Aoun, founder of Ergogenic Health and INB4, for a deep, experience driven conversation on dopamine, mood, and performance. Lucas is Australia's leading biohacker, now based in Dubai, with a background in exercise science, naturopathy, and pharmacology. He is globally recognized for his work in dopamine regulation, testosterone optimization, and neurohormonal performance, and for rigorously testing protocols before recommending them. Together, Dave and Lucas explore how dopamine receptor upregulation changes motivation, mood, and resilience more effectively than stimulants alone. They break down compounds and systems discussed in the episode including solbutiamine, lithium orotate, sarcosine, inositol, uridine, testosterone, growth hormone, ketamine pathways, thyroid optimization, liver health, sleep quality, and desire regulation. The conversation also examines GLP-1 drugs, why they can blunt motivation, and how to think more strategically about long term mood and energy. This episode connects neuroscience, functional medicine, hormone biology, nootropics, and advanced biohacking ethics into a single framework for improving how you feel and function every day. Dave and Lucas also explain why experimentation requires guardrails, how to avoid tolerance and emotional flattening, and why upgrading baseline biology beats chasing quick fixes. You'll Learn: • Why dopamine sensitivity matters more than dopamine levels • How mood, motivation, and desire are regulated biologically • Which compounds and systems came up as major mood levers • How testosterone and growth hormone influence emotional resilience • Why some longevity drugs may reduce motivation and drive • How sleep depth and mitochondrial function affect mood • The role of neuroplasticity in emotional regulation • Why strategic testing beats random supplementation • How to improve mood without addiction or burnout • Where to start if you want sustainable energy and motivation Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
