THE WAR BELOW - ERNEST SCHEYDER KARTONIERT (TB)

The world is moving towards replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy. But building electric
vehicles  solar panels  and millions of other devices requires digging more mines. Critical
minerals are vital to many sustainable technologies  and the competition for them is
intensifying. Nations which aspire to energy independence are ever more intertwined: a hedge
fund manager''s attempt to revive rare earths mining in California needs Chinese expertise  and
international reliance on Africa''s mining sector persists despite concern over child labour.
Meanwhile  ecological dilemmas abound: a proposed lithium mine in Nevada would help global car
manufacturers slash their dependence on fossil fuels  but developing that mine could cause the
extinction of a flower found nowhere else on the planet. As investors attempt to predict how
the geopolitics of resource extraction will unfold  this is a story of the industry giants 
researchers  and policymakers at the forefront of the new energy wars.
