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.

02/08/26 Fr Salar Boudagh - 5th Sunday of Epiphany (Arabic) by St. Peter's Chaldean Catholic Diocese

Jian opens this episode of Roqe with an essay making the case for calling this uprising the Lion and Sun Revolution. He reflects on the Lion and Sun flag being raised in Richmond Hill, Canada, while making one thing unmistakably clear - symbols in the diaspora are never enough. The real revolution is being paid for in blood inside Iran. Still, when a people are fighting to reclaim identity beyond the rulers who define them, symbols matter. Jian is then joined by Salar Gholami - former Iranian national team boxer and key organizer behind the historic Iranian-Canadian demonstrations in Toronto. They discuss how these massive rallies were built, how unity was maintained, what's happening inside Iran, and what comes next as February 14th approaches.

¡Algunos lugares en la Tierra parecen desafiar por completo las leyes de la física! Toma como ejemplo la cascada Devil's Kettle en Minnesota, donde misteriosamente la mitad del río desaparece en un agujero, y ¡nadie sabe a dónde va! En Bolivia, las salinas del Salar de Uyuni se convierten en un espejo gigante después de la lluvia, haciendo que parezca que estás caminando en el cielo. Luego está la Colina Magnética en Canadá, donde los autos parecen rodar cuesta arriba, aunque técnicamente es una ilusión óptica. En Turkmenistán, las Puertas del Infierno es un cráter ardiente y masivo que ha estado ardiendo durante décadas después de un accidente de perforación; ¡parece de otro mundo! Y en Australia, la Ola de Piedra parece una ola gigante congelada, aunque solo es una formación rocosa sólida formada durante millones de años. ¡Estos lugares hacen que la Tierra se sienta como algo sacado directamente de una película de ciencia ficción!

12/25/25 Fr Salar Boudagh - Christmas 2025 (Chaldean) by St. Peter's Chaldean Catholic Diocese

La noche explora platos tradicionales españoles. El gazpacho, originalmente caliente y sin tomate, evoluciona. Dani García sugiere gazpacho sin agua ni pan, usando la propia humedad del tomate maduro. Recomienda macerar tomate pera y cherry con ajo, media cebolla, pimiento verde, sal, vinagre y aceite. La tortilla de patatas, cuya invención se atribuye al siglo XVIII en Extremadura o Navarra, la prepara Martín Berasategui con cebolla, pimiento verde y ajo fresco. Salar la patata al cortarla para un exterior crujiente y un interior meloso. El pulpo a feira, de origen maragato, lo aborda Ángel León. Subraya que congelar el pulpo lo ablanda, cocerlo solo en agua y cortarlo con tijera. Sazona con sal, pimentón y aceite suave. Finalmente, los callos a la madrileña, documentados desde 1599, Pepe Rodríguez enfatiza su limpieza y cocción de 3 horas. No añade garbanzos y usa chorizo para el toque picante, guisando la tripa, pata y morro con verduras, hueso de jamón y pimentón.

China dio luz verde a su alianza con la empresa estatal chilena Codelco para la extracción del litio en Chile, que resguarda las mayores reservas mundiales del mineral. El visto bueno del regulador antimonopolio del gigante asiático era el último requisito externo, ahora sólo le falta a Chile validar esta alianza que tiene el desafío de conciliar lo económico y lo ambiental. La autorización del país asiático era la última condición necesaria a nivel internacional para materializar la sociedad que permitirá al Estado de Chile ingresar a la explotación del litio. El proyecto inició en 2023, cuando la estatal chilena Codelco anunció la alianza con la empresa privada SQM, que dispone de un cuarto de capital chino. Ahora que recibió el visto bueno del regulador antimonopolio chino, el peso internacional de Chile aumenta a la hora de hablar de nuevas tecnologías. “Para nosotros como Chile, es un mineral estratégico, pero para otros países es un mineral crítico. Esa distinción es importante porque los países lo utilizan en la producción de piezas y parte, por ejemplo, de baterías y en capacidad de almacenamiento. Y a nosotros nos interesa participar en esa discusión a nivel internacional, nos interesa tratar de generar encadenamientos productivos vinculados con el litio, y obviamente buscar asociaciones con aquellos que están llevando adelante esta tecnología, no solamente China, sino también Estados Unidos y muchos países europeos. Creo que es clave en nuestra estrategia de vinculación. Tenemos acuerdos de libre comercio con todos ellos”, explica a RFI el vicepresidente ejecutivo de Corporación de Fomento de la Producción de Chile, José Miguel Benavente. “Puede haber maneras de extracción distintas” Mientras los países ricos piden litio para baterías de autos eléctricos y otros sistemas de almacenamiento de energía renovable, la extracción de este mineral pone en peligro los ecosistemas, como el del Salar de Atacama, que contiene 8,3 millones de toneladas de litio y abastece el 30% de la demanda global. El profesor del Departamento de Ingeniería de Minería de la Universidad de Chile, Emilio Castillo, considera que esta alianza es una oportunidad para una extracción más sostenible: “El hecho de que esté una empresa estatal ayuda a darle validez al modelo. Yo creo que también motiva este resguardo ambiental, que es parte de una estrategia en general, de cómo nosotros pensamos los salares como unidades productivas. Y creo que el cambio fundamental está en decir que puede haber maneras de extracción distintas, que generen impactos menores, más controlados o más mitigados en temáticas ambientales. Y el acuerdo también busca mejorar y aumentar el nivel de producción, aprovechando estas nuevas tecnologías y teniendo más información de cómo puede ser el consumo de agua, el tema energético, pero fundamentalmente el tema del agua con respecto a nuevas técnicas de extracción”, detalla. “Yo creo que el acuerdo trata de balancear todos estos temas, que son temas por sí solo cada uno. Hemos tenido discusiones en Chile para estructurar una estrategia productiva de litio que permita y valide la extracción privada como parte de un modelo de desarrollo”, agrega Castillo. Con esta asociación, Chile recuperaría el liderazgo mundial en la producción de litio, que Australia le arrebató en 2016.

Botswana is the Africa in our heads, the one we see in nature documentaries, and think of when we say the word.  It is a vast and untempered land filled with one of the richest concentrations of wildlife on the continent. In a single game drive you could see up to 50 different species: elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard, hippos, baboons and more.  But beyond the wildlife there is something else too. Africa is our home. They call her the ‘Mother', the place we all come from. And if that's true, then Botswana is her beating heart.  Taking us there is safari guide and author Peter Allison, who has been guiding in Botswana and elsewhere in Africa for nearly 30 years. He'll tell us the story of his ultimate Botswana safari, traveling from Makgadikgadi Salt Pans to the Okavango Delta. It's an adventure filled with wildlife, wisdom and more than one of his crazy stories. Get ready for an adventure into the Africa of our dreams. Highlights include: Learning to track wild animals with the San Bushmen, one of the oldest continuously surviving cultures on Earth. Walking on the surreal landscapes of the largest salt pan in the world - three times bigger than Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni. Going on game drives in the Okavango Delta, a vast network of floodplains that draws one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa. Finding out what it's like to be stalked by a lion in the pitch black of night with only a kerosene lantern for company. Discovering the story of Salvador the elephant, and one of the most magical wildlife experiences you can ever imagine. Hearing about the time a leopard walked into Peter's cabin, with him inside it. It's OK, he survived to tell the tale. FIND OUT MORE A lot of our episodes are about huge expeditions and epic adventures.This one is about something you can actually do.  We've partnered with Peter's safari company Natural Selection Safaris, and tour operator Africa Endeavours - two of the most highly regarded sustainable operators on the continent - to create our dream Botswana itinerary. And it's a trip you can actually book and do yourself. To find out more go to AfricaEndeavours.com/Armchair and you will get $500 off your next trip.

The lithium sector may be rebounding, and Lithium Chile is positioning itself to seize that momentum. In this interview, Lithium Chile (TSXV: LITH | OTCQB: LTMCF) President & CEO Steve Cochrane discusses how the company's recent $7 million LIFE private placement strengthens its balance sheet and accelerates projects in Argentina and Chile.Cochrane shares insights on the company's Salar de Arizaro project in Argentina, now moving toward production permitting, and its Salar de Coipasa project in Chile, where a rare government license could enable drilling as early as 2026. The discussion also covers shareholder confidence, market trends, and why Cochrane believes Lithium Chile remains undervalued in a recovering lithium market.Learn more about Lithium Chile: https://lithiumchile.caWatch the full YouTube interview here: https://youtu.be/aKMZLlRbZKE And follow us to stay updated: https://www.youtube.com/@GlobalOneMedia

09/07/25 Fr Salar Boudagh - 1st Sunday of Elijah (Arabic) by St. Peter's Chaldean Catholic Diocese

De ses 25 jours en Bolivie, Amélie a tiré de nombreux enseignements utiles pour les familles.Sécurité : vigilance à La Paz, surtout sur les marchés.Organisation : réserver l'excursion du Salar au moins une semaine à l'avance.Logement : privilégier l'expérience aux grands hôtels...

À Tupiza, Amélie a découvert des paysages de western : canyons rouges, vent sec, immensités désertiques.C'était aussi le départ d'une grande expédition : quatre jours en 4x4 jusqu'au Salar d'Uyuni.Lagunes colorées, geysers fumants et volcans endormis.Flamants roses qui s'envolent au lever du soleil.Et l'arrivée sur le Salar : “On avait l'impression d'être sur une autre planète. Voir Aaron courir là-dessus, c'était magique.”

Amélie, Dylan et leur fils Aaron, 2 ans et demi, ont tout quitté pour partir en tour du monde, sans date de retour. Leur voyage s'est construit au gré de leurs envies et on s'est arrêtés sur leur passage en Bolivie, un pays assurément à part.Ils ont enchaîné bivouacs sous tente, expérience chez l'habitant, un sommet à 6 060 m, qui s'est révélé être “la plus belle chose qu'elle ait faite de tout son voyage”, et bien sûr le Salar d'Uyuni.
