In this week’s episode Robert talks to Vince Beiser about his latest book “Power Metal: The Race for Resources Shaping Our Future” which gives us an insight into the global competition for essential minerals, like lithium, cobalt and copper, needed for technologies like renewable energy and the internet. We hear about the challenges of sourcing and recycling these metals, as well as the consequences of our dependence on them. @fullychargedshow @everythingelectricshow
