Joe and Emily kick off 2019 with a packed podcast agenda! They discuss the announced and then quickly denied Berkshire Hathaway deal for Salton Sea geothermal brine lithium production.

Their buddy Dan Blondal, CEO of Nano One calls in to discuss the recently announced Joint Development Argeement with cathode maker Pulead, and the market for LFP cathode.

The Pluspetrol buyout of Argentina’s LSC Lithium and valuation is another topic. They also touch on Fastmarkets prediction of a spot price of US $25,000/ton in 2025, and close out with the never ending Drama in the Atacama.
