Navigating Supply Chain Challenges in the EV Market

Inside your cell phone, your car, even your leaf blower – there’s a collection of small, precious minerals making each one work. 

Ernest Scheyder is a Reuters reporter covering the clean energy transition and author of the new book, “The War Below: Lithium, Copper, and the Global Battle to Power Our Lives.” Deidre Woollard caught up with Scheyder for a conversation about:

• Tradeoffs in mining, and why the U.S. is falling behind in the race for precious minerals.
• Tensions of the clean energy transition.
• The “wacky journey” of a junior mining company.
