This Technology Will Change EVERYTHING. Here's Why

About this episode

The episode discusses the critical role of lithium ion batteries in modern technology and the problematic supply chain associated with their production.

The 21st century runs on lithium ion batteries: from phones and laptops, to electric vehicles, drones and clean energy. Embedded in these technologies are batteries containing rare earth minerals, drawn from a brutal supply chain that begins in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The race to electrify the global energy system is underway, but awareness about this supply chain is woefully inadequate among the users of these technologies – many of whom profess to have green politics.
