Can We Leap Frog Ion-Lithium Batteries & Cut Socialist Bolivia Out of the Picture?

The US wishes to break their dependence on foreign oil, but alas, everything we do is based on this fuel, oil is the motivating force driving our civilization’s transportation needs.

Thus, it too will do what’s in its best interest to leverage this gift against the modern world.

And all the other things we use ion-lithium batteries for such as laptops, cell phones, mobile devices, military equipment, and the 100s of industries with devices
