THE RARE METALS WAR - GUILLAUME PITRON KARTONIE...

A celebrated international bestseller that exposes the ticking time-bomb underneath our new
technological order. The resources race is on. Powering our digital lives and green
technologies are some of the Earth¿s most precious metals ¿ but they are running out. And what
will happen when they do? The green-tech revolution will reduce our reliance on nuclear power 
coal  and oil  but by breaking free of fossil fuels  we are setting ourselves up for a new
dependence ¿ on rare metals like cobalt  gold  and palladium. These are essential to electric
vehicles  wind turbines  and solar panels  as well as our smartphones  computers  tablets  and
other technologies. But we know very little about how rare metals are mined and traded  or
their environmental  economic  and geopolitical costs ¿ until now.
