By 2030, more than 125 million electric vehicles will be owned by people worldwide. But where does the lithium that drives the batteries come from?
Most stocks of this lighter metal are in brine at the bottom of the swamps in the highlands.
In Argentina, in Jujuy, the province where the Aboriginal population is the highest, major projects are being carried out.
But in an extremely arid region, where water is the most valuable resource and where lithium production requires large amounts, there is fear and absolute resistance.
