Bloomberg TV's Alix Steel provides a report on the Tesla Gigafactory and the global lithium supply. The production process for lithium involves extracting it from brine over a two-year evaporation period, eventually pounding the material into a white powder that the reporter compared to the appearance of cocaine.
Congressman Ron Paul debated economist Paul Krugman on Bloomberg Television regarding monetary policy and the role of the Federal Reserve. Krugman argued that the government must stabilize the economy to prevent depressions, while Paul contended that the Federal Reserve's management actually triggers economic volatility.
Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood defends the administration's high-speed rail initiative on Bloomberg TV, dismissing Florida Governor Rick Scott's rejection of federal funds. The hosts mock LaHood's claim that "the trains will run on time," drawing comparisons to Mussolini. They argue that high-speed rail is a "jobs bill" for corporate contractors rather than a viable transportation solution.
