In this episdode of The Adventure Capitlist podcast we interview Ernest Scheyder, Reuters senior correspondent and author of "The War Below: Lithium, Copper, and the Global Battle to Power Our Lives." We dive into the complex world of critical minerals, lithium, copper, rare earth metals, and other resources that are essential for electric vehicles, renewable energy, and modern technology. Ernest shares his perspectives on the environmental, geopolitical, and human challenges of mining these resources, from conflicts over sacred lands to the race for energy independence. This episode, and his book, is an eye-opener for those who want to find new investing ideas and also understand what direction the world is headed in.
