• Though EVs emit fewer greenhouse gases than fuel-powered vehicles, their batteries require more minerals – especially lithium, which is also used to make batteries for smartphones and computers.
• Unlike its neighbors Chile and Argentina, Bolivia has yet to become a major player in the global lithium market.
• In part, this is because its high-altitude salt flats aren’t suited to the usual extraction method, solar evaporation.

The Pachamama

• Aymara and Quechua peoples comprise most of the Indigenous communities in the Andes Mountains.
• Instead, it is seen as a group of beings with personhood, history and power beyond human reach.
• For example, the female divinity of fertility, to whom people owe respect, is the Pachamama.
• Since she sustains and secures the reproduction of life, Andean Indigenous people make offerings to the Pachamama in ancestral rituals known as “challas” that seek to reinforce their connection with her.

Lifeless matter

• The modern economy turns nature into a source of raw materials: morally and spiritually inert matter that is there to be extracted and mobilized worldwide.
• In the way Christians adapted his idea of prime matter, everything was ordered by its level of “perfection,” ranging from the lowest level – prime matter, the most basic “stuff” of the world – to rocks, plants, animals, humans, angels and, finally, God.
• The Catholic Church and the Spanish Empire later used this medieval understanding of matter as something passive, without spirit, to justify the extraction of resources during colonial times.
• The closer things were to prime matter, their argument supposed, the more they needed human imprint and an external purpose to make them valuable.

The road ahead

• However, extraction initiatives have faced severe setbacks in the last few years, including social protests, the 2019 political crisis and a lack of necessary technology.
• The Chinese deal represents a new milestone, yet its outcomes are still uncertain: for the economy, for local communities and for the Earth.
