Like the gasoline additive that promises to boost your MPG. Can't get something from nothing in a 2 oz. squirt bottle :)

The talk about "New "Energy Miracle" substance" is just hype by people to sell stocks. That having'
been said, although lithium [called "white oil" by the stock mongers :-) ], is an extremely useful component of lithium batteries for electric cars, consumer electronics, other applications and is a very valuable commodity in energy storage. It is not a fuel.

an interesting article is:
