Welcome to the very second issue of Power Metal, the newsletter about how the raw materials we need for renewable energy and digital technology are spawning environmental havoc, political upheaval and murder—and how we can do better.
"Saudi Arabia Wants to Become the Saudi Arabia of Critical Metals" is the cleverest headline i have read in a while. This is a great read and i am not even in the business of heavy metals -- but own a Tesla which i hate charging!
Beer and chick pics...what more can you ask for from a materials newsletter?! BTW, regarding e-waste, let's not forget that in addition to all the junk already in dumps around the world, every one of us has basements/attics/garages/drawers full of old phones, computers, coax cable, kettles, TVs etc that have yet to make it into the waste stream. Truly frightening.

This is so cool and interesting, I feel bad for people who don’t know about this newsletter
Great article!
Thanks Dan!

Amen to all that, Don. Interesting piece on that topic the other day in the BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-68673420
