Why green energy means mining: the case of cobalt
Manage episode 279500953 series 1668083
"POLITICO Money" presents Episode 6 of the new season of POLITICO's podcast "Global Translations":
To understand how essential critical minerals are to our world, we turn to a case study: cobalt. This mineral is proving key to the future of green energy, defense and high tech manufacturing — not to mention electric vehicles. But cobalt has its challenges. Hosts Luiza Savage and Ryan Heath look at China’s dominant role in global cobalt mining and the serious problems that can arise if other countries can't get enough supplies.
