Guest Adam Simon, a Professor at the University of Michigan and CEO of Vectors Science, emphasizes the critical role of copper in modern technology. He discusses the urgent need for copper in renewable energy, like electric cars and wind turbines, against the backdrop of dwindling reserves in Chile. The conversation explores the environmental challenges local communities face from pollution and contrasts the haunting past of abandoned mining towns with the promise of asteroid mining and resource recycling for a sustainable future.
