A 1989 segment on the BBC’s Tomorrow’s World included specialists attempting to present a picture of what life in homes would be like by 2020. Futurists, engineers, and TV personalities were all speculating on the shape of future dwellings, and their concepts gave a pretty good image of what that may look like, or at least tried to.
Tesla released a video today that shows their lithium refinery in action just outside Corpus Christi, Texas. Jason Beavenon, the site manager, gives us a tour of the facilities. What’s impressive is that this is a fresh new, one-of-a-kind factory in North America that can convert spodumene ore into battery-grade lithium hydroxide in a cleaner manner than typical lithium refineries.
