This revolution is happening at breath-taking speed, with the potential to completely transform key industries and the way we live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the first time in history, we can now actually store this green energy we talk so much about. Often referred to as \u003cem\u003ethe new oil\u003c\/em\u003e, lithium allows large amounts of energy to be squeezed into a very small space. Demand is soaring, and the lithium business is full of drama: bitter rivalries, shady deals and exceptionally talented visionaries such as Elon Musk, who is building lithium battery giga-factories across the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book travels from the salt lakes of the Tibetan plateau, where Chinese government-linked companies extract lithium, to Argentina, Chile and Bolivia, which hold the world's biggest resources of the mineral.
