More than just a tourist destination: Bolivia's salt flats are key to its future

Bolivia hopes it will revolutionize its economy by becoming "the Saudi Arabia of lithium" as global demand for the resource explodes.

    Don't forget, one of the trapped chilean miners in 2010 was a Bolivian and after it happened they offered him a position in the government but he chose to stay and make Chili his home to raise a family.

    Actually we will take out the lithium anyways. We are the second poorest country in SA and that's bullshit, Morales' socialism didn't help very much so we need to try the other way. Of course we will respect the beauty of this touristic destination but we're not fool, we have the gold of the modern era and there are ways to take the lithium without really destroying the view. Nobody will tell us what to do with our resources.

    That's a strawman and a cartoon of the situation.Youre clearly very ignorant,Bolivia is very poor and many would actually look to lithium as a way of lifting themselves out of poverty. The west isn't Satan incarnate you moron,the west you are proposing is so ridiculous it actually makes me laugh.You see Bolivia as holy and perfect and the west as irrationally trying to make everyone miserable and evil and always trying to ruin everything. Bolivia isn't a person,neither is the West,your simple stupid narrative is ill informed and I'll motivated, countries and especially blocs of countries aren't that simple. :/

    Well considering this. We are told we live on a globe as such. I'm not a flat earther but think about it for a minute, does it make sense. The globe earth is according to what they tell us, it is approx 7, 000 miles wide/across. How can you have a salt lake that's completely flat spanning approx 4,000 square kilometers, 1544,409 square miles wide? According to mainstream academia the curvature of the earth drops 8inches per mile squared. So on that calculation alone, it is impossible to have a flat surface spanning that distance. Strange how many old ancient maps have been removed from the public domain where they showed not only Antarctica free of ice but also a flat earth plane. Funny how all power establishments as the UN and EU all show the earth flat on their symbolism. We should start asking why that is because you cannot have a completely flat surface reaching over 1544+ square miles on a globe. Food for thought hey !

    Bolivia is the name derived from Indian Tamil Language word Polivu meaning " fresh and shining " and also Thunupa is 2 words i.e. Thun means rock and upa means Uppu i.e Salt in English. Again , in the name of development, surely they will destroy entire salt pan in just 10 years like they are doing in India. India is also having rock salt lake in Western India, Thar Desert and salt rocks are being taken in huge quantity to extract valuable minerals unknown to common people. The story of development is exploitation and exploitation means poor country people should toil for measly sum. Only god can forbade
