In this episode, co-host Adriel Barrett-Johnson sits down with Teague Egan, Founder and CEO of EnergyX, a lithium extraction startup. They discuss how Teague founded the company, the role of lithium in the energy transition, and how EnergyX is working with the government of Bolivia to run pilots of their technology. They get into why there aren't more greentech companies in Bolivia, and what might need to change for a community of greentech startups to grow there.
