Summary: Juan Carlos Jobet, Sebastián Piñera's former Minister of Mining and Energy, defends the current government's proposal to incorporate private parties into the new lithium policy. "Asking the state to develop a lithium operating company from scratch is a bad idea." He adds: "Codelco has great capacities in copper, but lithium is a different business." He proposes a National Lithium Company that is not an operating firm, but a legal vehicle that receives the income from contracts with private parties.
Dear Juan Carlos Jobet, Please run for President of Chile in 2026.
