Why Are We Sending Critical Metals to the Dump? | Jeff More | TED
The world is heading toward a massive copper shortage that could derail the clean energy transition, says mining expert Jeff More. He shows how advanced sensing technology could get us back on the right track, drastically cutting down on the wasted materials from traditional mining and helping meet the growing demand for essential metals. (Recorded at TED Countdown: Overcoming Dilemmas in the Green Transition on October 30, 2025)
