In the twentieth century, wealth and power was dictated by access to oil. This century will have different kingmakers, perhaps different wars.
We depend on a handful of metals and rare earths to power our phones and computers. Increasingly, we rely on them to power our cars and our homes. Whoever controls these finite commodities will become rich beyond imagining.
Sanderson journeys to meet the characters, companies, and nations scrambling for the new resources, linking remote mines in the Congo and Chile’s Atacama Desert to giant Chinese battery factories, shadowy commodity traders, secretive billionaires, and a new generation of scientists attempting to solve the dilemma of a "greener" world.

This book is hardly a treatise on global warming. It points out many of the pitfalls of the transition to EVs. It talks about the cobalt mines in the Congo, monopolies, Chinese state investment, the hazards of ocean mining. However, it isn’t a doomed book about the infeasibility of the EV shift. Rather, it is a straightforward, well researched book about the mining and production companies that are in this space. Who are the key players in lithium, cobalt, and nickel production? Who is getting rich and are different companies structuring their economies to deal with the industrial change? It was a very informative book about the mining of resources and production of clean energy materials.

What an eye opener!
I still believe environmentally conscious business making is the only way forward if we want to save the planet but (!) it all takes strict regulations, rigorous monitoring, sophisticated anti corruption measures and dedication.
Thank you for this treasured book!
