Chatgpt generated image of Europe navigating between China’s processing choke point and America’s federal volatility toward a more resilient battery minerals future.
The energy transition will not fail because the world runs out of useful minerals. It can be slowed, made more expensive, and made more fragile because the industrial systems that turn minerals into batteries, motors, power electronics, grid equipment, and vehicles are concentrated, politically exposed, and hard to rebuild.

ChatGPT & DALL-E generated panoramic image of a foot race between India, China, USA and Europe with the competitors' clothes covered in circuitry and sparks flying off of them
For close to twenty years, it’s been clear that electrifying everything is a key climate change wedge. Mark Z.
