Descrição do livro

If we do not address our domestic mineral supply chains, we will dramatically lower the chances that America can lead the world on renewable energy and other key industries of the future. Minerals are the fundamental building blocks for any modern technology, whether they are light bulbs or computers or airplanes. In the energy world, batteries don't work without lithium, without graphite, cobalt and nickel. Solar panels require silver, gallium, indium and tellurium, and wind turbines are built not just from steel, but also from aluminum, from copper and rare earth elements. We all know that these minerals just don't appear out of thin air. They are mined from the ground. They are processed. They are refined into materials that can be manufactured into an end product. Right now, the United States is falling further behind in the global race to control supply chains for new technologies. Allowing that to happen is a massive strategic mistake, impacting everything from our ability to create high-paying jobs to our national security and influence on the global stage.
