Lithium, Copper, and the Global Battle to Power Our Lives - Mike Mauceli, Ernest Scheyder
In this episode of the Energy Show with REI Energy, host Mike Mauceli invites Ernest Scheyder, a senior correspondent for Reuters, to discuss the complex issues surrounding the mining and production of critical minerals like lithium, copper, and cobalt, required for electrification. Ernest, who is also the author of the book titled 'The War Below', highlights the geopolitical tensions, environmental implications, and economic dynamics that are intertwined with the global drive for a greener future. He emphasizes the notion of a 'choice', pointing out the indirect costs and consequences associated with electrification, such as child labor in cobalt mines and long, carbon-intensive supply chains. The conversation also covers the potential of recycling in this industry and the need to rethink antiquated mining laws. Ernest's book aims not to influence but to bring these complexities to audiences for broader understanding and reflection.
