Bolivia pins hopes on lithium, electric vehicles

Piles of salt lay on the salt flats of Uyuni, Bolivia, where the population has harvested salt for years. Underneath the salt lies the world's largest lithium reserves. Lithium is the key component for electronics batteries and electric car batteries. To Bolivia's president, it's the great silvery-white hope. Bolivia has about half the world's proven lithium reserves, and its president says he's ready to sink some $200 million into mining it.
